When I started as DoctorJonPaul, I never thought it would get me to the Capitol of California. To say I am honored to be honored is an understatement. Ya girl is DOING IT for the gays, babes & theys, OKAY!?

Does anyone have access to a list of companies/ERG’s I could pitch for Pride month? I would love to spend this Pride month talking to folks about the importance of loving (on) yourself in this hostile landscape and what advocacy beyond job descriptions should look like. Holla at me.
If we don’t have each other’s backs, who does?! In this week’s episode of the BFF podcast we discuss solidarity with our friend Ron Young Jr, host Weight for It Podcast, and get into how we discuss bodies through both queer and non-queer lenses. Listen now on iHeartRadio or Apple Podcast!
Missed Advocacy Day last year because of the book launch. This year, it felt good to be at the Capitol reminding politicians that queer kids need to be supported. Call your reps and tell them that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Today my baby turns ONE! I’ve learned so much from her, not only about me but about the importance of believing in you and your story when nobody else does. Thank you to everyone who bought it, shared it, posted about it and uplifted my story. May the Black Fat Femme revolution press on! 💅🏾

A lot of y’all said you don’t do politics. Now look. Politics are doing you.
This is what community looks like. This is what support looks like.
We did it! My student is getting a MacBook Neo all because of y’all’s kindness! You really make me believe that there is some good left in the world!
Helping a Black momma student get a MacBook Neo because she can’t keep up in my class without a computer (her’s is slowly breaking down). Y’all trying to help? We are almost there. My Venmo is @DoctorJonPaul!
Got an email this evening from someone at Microsoft saying my presentation today was not only the best one their ERG has had, but it’s the most seen they’ve felt as a Black trans man. Sharing because someone needs to know this: YOU BEING YOU IS SAVING LIVES. KEEP DOING IT.
This week on @blackfatfemmepod.bsky.social our good Judy @ninaparker.bsky.social reminds us to be BIG in everything we do. YOU GOTTA THINK BIG! Listen to “THINK BIG B*TCH” on @iheartradio, applepodcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Woke up this morning to learn I landed ANOTHER WRITING RESIDENCY. Can’t say where yet, but it’s HUGE. Shout out to the white lady professor who told me I didn’t have the chops to be a writer in college. Wonder if I should send her a signed copy of my book…🥰
