Jaime Collins describes herself as a passionately curious woman with a deep love of humanity. Collins says that it was through a life-long journey of self-discovery that she learned and unlearned the societal dictates that for years had kept her imprisoned in a gender that wasn’t hers. Eventually Collins learned to love and accept herself and at 52 years old, came out as transgender. In addition to her career as a healthcare marketing and communications professional Collins is a wife, parent, grandparent, athlete, entrepreneur, and steadfast advocate for the LGBTQIA community.
In this podcast, Jamie Collins and Helen Osborne talk about:
Meaning of the acronym, LGBTQIA. Commonly used to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning, intersex, and asexual and/or ally.
Another important acronym is SOGIE. This is about the spectrum of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
Why all these issues matter in health communication.
Ways that organizations and individuals can be more welcoming, inclusive, culturally competent, and equitable.
