With this talk, Ellie (Ellen) Krug describes what has happened in the fifteen-plus years since she got the chance at the age of 52 for a complete do-over, a second chance, to live as her true self following a transition from male to female. This is a story of finally finding one’s voice and resonating with the Universe. Isn’t that what we each yearn for? Expect to learn what true allyship involves; the importance of keeping one’s heart open despite pain; the importance of compassion for self and others; and the suffering we risk when we don’t live truly authentic lives. Ellie Krug has spoken at PH before – you will likely remember her well-received talk last spring, “Being Transgender: Living with a Target on My Back.”
