FINDING ONESELF

“
This poignant yet hopeful monologue beautifully depicts both the need to be fully seen and the need to make a living. I found myself rooting for the protagonist, DAWN, a trans woman, to get the job at The Women's Lunch Center, earn enough to save up, and achieve her dream of taking the "next step" to truly becoming a woman.
