Journey to authenticity
Author Lucy Sante explores her life and her transition in recently-published memoir MELISSA WHITLER | Dallas Voice Fellow Melissa@DallasVoice.com Award-winning author Lucy Sante tells the story of her transition in her recently-published memoir, I Heard Her Call My Name.
In 2021, after coming to terms with her gender identity at 67 years old, Sante knew she wanted to live openly and authentically in her personal and professional lives.
The lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic offered Sante the perfect conditions for her egg to crack with no explanations. And after putting photos of herself through FaceApp to see what she looked like “as a woman” she could deny it to herself no longer; she is transgender.
The book takes a look at her journey of transitioning while simultaneously exploring the arc of her life story. With her distinct wit and honesty, Sante takes the reader through an exploration of what it means to be a woman, and what it takes to live an authentic life.
