#112 Author | Musician | Songwriter |Producer | Amber Rose Washington

In this episode I will be talking to Amber who works in the Entertainment Industry as a Song Writer, Musician, Producer, and now #2 best selling Author in her genre. Amber is a transgender woman. She wrote a memoir about her journey to finding and living as her authentic self.
*
I have a trans sibling and I support her decision to live her life however she sees fit and hopefully is happy at the end of the day.
*
It is not an easy road for one to take. I know from watching my sisters journey and having most of the family not be supportive in the beginning and going through a period where most of us didn't speak to her for a few years. I didn't speak to her for over 10 years.
