Choose Joy First

from Joy of Being Hosted by Boo McCaleb

Minneapolis-based artist Boo McCaleb shares his journey as a Black transgender man, reflecting on self-discovery, transitioning, and the relationships and communities that have shaped his life. In conversation with TJ Lor, Boo explores the challenges of redefining masculinity, finding belonging, and moving beyond survival toward a life of creativity, freedom, and self-acceptance. His story reminds us that joy is not something we have to earn or chase, but something we can choose to embrace every day.
