The Real Reveal: Pegah Naemi Jimenez

 

Meet Pegah


A few years back I read an article about "Theybies", babies born to parents who refused to tell the world the "sex" of their child and used they/them pronouns. At the time I thought, "Wow, what a brave and generous thing to do for a child, to let them decide what their "gender" is."

I am happy to say that in today's episode I get to interview one of those brave and generous parents. I'm so inspired and encouraged by her and her husband's stand to allow their children to choose their own gender identity. Pegah Naemi Jimenez is a really powerful person. I am happy to have her as a new friend and even happier to share her story with you. Introducing Pegah Naemi Jimenez.

Pegah is a mom of two who decided to leave it up to her kids to reveal their own gender identity on their own terms and in their own expression. She is the proprietor of Rainbow Doula Collective, providing full spectrum birth work focusing on BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folx in Lawrence, KS You can follow her parenting & doula journey on Instagram @the_unapologetic_parent.
