Shop Trans for the Holidays 2023

Holiday shopping is the perfect opportunity to support trans makers and business owners. This year, Imara sits down with two entrepreneurs making products by and for our community. First, she’s joined by drag artist and founder of Mintty Makeup, Junior Mintt, who shares how she went from googling “how to start a makeup brand” to selling her products in over 650 JCPenny locations. Next, Imara chats with the founder of Oak & Moon Candles & Care, Mikaela-Giselle Brooks, about her commitment to using the highest quality ingredients in her products and why she wanted to take control of her future as an entrepreneur.You can find more trans businesses with holiday offerings on our website at https://translash.org/trans-owned-business-holiday-shopping-directory/.Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on Instagram, Threads,  X, and Facebook.Follow Imara Jones on X (@ImaraJones) and Instagram (@Imara_jones_)Follow our guests on social media!Wearable Art by Jam: Instagram (@wearable.jam) Junior Mintt: Instagram (@juniormintt)Mikaela-Giselle Brooks: Instagram (@oakandmooncandles) and TikTok (@oakandmooncandles)TransLash Podcast is produced by Translash Media.Translash Team: Imara Jones, Oliver-Ash Kleine, Aubrey Calaway. Xander Adams is our sound engineer and contributing producer.Brennen Beckwith is our social media producer.Digital strategy by Daniela Capistrano.Theme Music: Ben Draghi and ZZK records. Additional music credits: Basixx, Guustavv, [ocean jams], and Jobii Hosted on Acast.
