When the idea of this podcast first popped into my head, I instantly knew I wanted to interview Sitraka. We had only met once, over lunch with friends, 7 years ago. But his wisdom and compassion radiate from deep inside and had a long-lasting impact on me.

In this interview, Sitraka tracks his path from an advertisement in an Madagascan newspaper to Canada, France, and the USA.

Highlights include: - growing up as a single parent child in Madagascar - how Paris contributed to finding self-acceptance - breathing easier in Boston an the small challenges that prevail- finding a new spiritual home in the Episcopal Church after coming out

In short, Sitraka is a professional at turning shame into empowerment.
