Episode 3: Lex Ajello (RPCV Ghana)

In this episode, RPCV Lex Ajello shares how Peace Corps service in Ghana sparked their powerful journey of self-discovery and gender exploration. From experiencing queer culture across borders to navigating COVID-19 evacuations and regional unrest, Lex transformed challenges into resilience and authenticity—finding their true self and their wife along the way.

Now a first-year medical student, Lex is boldly pursuing a career in gender-affirming care, advocating for marginalized and queer communities in the face of ongoing legal battles.
