This week's episode features the ever-talented Danni Velasquez-Mora. Danni is Founder and Creative Director of Womankind Creative and - because we had such a great conversation about women's representation the first time (see the link below), Danni wanted to interview me to get an angle on how the transgender community would appreciate representation in marketing. We talk about topics as far-reaching as where gender originates, who fits the mold of "normal" woman, and the importance of label-lumping.
