Home > Resources > Recommended Books > DE&I Books > Recommended Read: Trans Power: Own Your Gender | Juno Roche

In this radical and emotionally raw book, Juno Roche pushes the boundaries of trans representation by redefining ‘trans’ as an identity with its own power and strength, that goes beyond the gender binary.

Through intimate conversations with leading and influential figures in the trans community, such as Kate Bornstein, Travis Alabanza, Josephine Jones, Glamrou and E-J Scott, this book highlights the diversity of trans identities and experiences with regard to love, bodies, sex, race and class, and urges trans people – and the world at large – to embrace a ‘trans’ identity as something that offers empowerment and autonomy.

Powerfully written, and with humour and advice throughout, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of gender and how we identify ourselves.

Are you looking to build or pivot to a career in women’s health but don’t know where to start? Join this workshop & make it happen in 2024!

Following the success of our sold-out Building a Career in Women’s Health workshops, and after a short break to focus on our own health, we’re thrilled to be back hosting it again!

Working in women’s health is an incredibly exciting, innovative, ever expanding and passionate industry filled with opportunity and potential, but knowing where to start when wanting to build or pivot into a career in women’s health can be overwhelming and daunting. Well, not anymore!

Are you early in your career or looking to start a career in women’s health after you graduate in 2024?
Have you been working for some time but are now looking to pivot into women’s health, or you already work in women’s health but are looking to get a new role or start a business in 2024?
Have you experienced challenges with women’s health personally and it’s making you question where you’re at in your career and you’re exploring pastures new?
Do you want to connect with others going through a similar experience to share, learn and grow together?

Join this engaging, practical and fun interactive workshop with Rebekah Lloyd, women’s health and careers expert and founder of This Independent Life, and you’ll walk away with:

A clear understanding of why you want to work in women’s health
Clarity and definition of what you want to do and offer in women’s health, and how to communicate it with confidence
Guidance on how to build and elevate your personal brand to stand out in the women’s health space
Motivation to authentically put yourself out there online and in-person
Connection and support from Rebekah, and others in the group, to help you get the role of your dreams!

This session will be recorded and shared with all attendees after for future reference and to make it accessible to people with conflicts or who are in different time zones.

Reviews from our previous Building a Career in Women’s Health workshop!

“I can’t recommend this workshop enough – not just what you learn but how you shape women’s health careers and the brilliant people you meet”
“Really informative and engaging, but also honest and relatable. You really normalised some of the challenges and I loved that you talked about internal barriers to success like imposter syndrome and how to manage these”
“Rebekah communicated key concepts in such a clear and confident way – I feel hopeful, empowered and a step closer to my goals each TIL event :)”

This will be a safe space for learning and is open to anyone regardless of your background, all are welcome (including allies, babies and animals!) If you’d like to join but can’t afford it right now please get in touch and we’ll see what we can do to support.

We look forward to welcoming you there and to supporting you in building a thriving women’s health career in 2024 and beyond!
