Pride Stories: Kiebpoli, Erik, & Black Trans Stories Matter | Season 5 Preview

The TMI Project Story Hour

This is Episode 9, Season 4 of The TMI Project Podcast: Pride Stories featuring Kiebpoli Calnek and Erik Harris.

Kiebpoli has always identified with male and female energies, but it isn’t until they meet a trans man at a queer sex party that they begin to have the language to claim their trans identity.

Erik has never been comfortable with his Triple D chest. Finally, a gender-affirming surgery allows him to shine like the sun.

Kiebpoli Calnek (they/them), a non-binary queer Black creative born and raised in Lenapehoking/New York City, has generated nuanced performances and artistic direction seeped in poetic elements for over two decades.

​​Erik Harris (he/him) is living his best life as a Black, queer, trans man in Richmond, VA. As an aspiring chef, he spends most of his time cooking, both at work and at home. When he isn't in the kitchen, he is lounging at the James River or playing bass guitar for his cat, Tux.
