Learning from Transitions with Dr. Elijah Nicholas
Dr. Elijah Nicholas is an 11-time published author with his most recent work is his LGBTQI+ friendly children's book series which promotes love, family, compassion, inclusion, and authentic gender expression. He spent almost half of his life in the U.S. Military, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2012. Dr. Nicholas transitioned in 2018. Dr. Elijah is also the founder of 100 Black Trans Men, an organization that empowers and elevates the visibility and representation of Black Transgender Men.
In this conversation, Dr. Elijah shared about what it was like to be in the closet while leading in the military. Nina and Elijah also talked about how our values can be not only a guiding post but an invitation for change. They also got real about their shared vision for the future of inclusion and what we can all learn from the trans experience.
