Gender Isn’t Binary, Inclusion Isn’t Optional — with Amelia J. Michael

Guest: Amelia J. Michael (they/them) — Gender inclusion speaker, trainer, and author of Gender Inclusion at Work.

In this episode of Empowered & Out, we dive into the hard, human, and sometimes hilarious truths about making the workplace safer for transgender and nonbinary employees.

Amelia shares:

  • What “silos and silence” have to do with inclusion (hint: it’s not just a tech problem)
  • Why their book is a “choose-your-own-adventure” for every department
  • What they rewrote in the book after anti-trans laws started passing
  • Their journey from a phobia of singing to lead singer of a band (seriously!)
  • Practical advice for people who want to be inclusive but are afraid of messing up

Whether you're HR, leadership, or just someone who wants to be a better ally, this episode is for you.
