]]> On this episode of Amplified Voices, Amber and Jason speak with C, a woman who has lived through the unimaginable – losing her mother at a young age, getting thrust into the foster system, and grappling with overdiagnosis and overmedication, displacement, and disconnection. We learn about her journey, from her challenging upbringing to her involvement in the sex trade and her initial encounters with the criminal legal system as a young, transgender woman.

C talks about the labels society imposes, and the struggles of being over-stigmatized within an oppressive system. We listen to C’s experiences in a men’s prison facility, the threats she faced, as well as her fight for proper healthcare. Strikingly, C shares about obtaining academic success amidst this turbulence- reminding us of the strength of the human spirit, and the power of belief and investment.
