Melanie used to be Mark. It took her over two years whilst volunteering at Awaaz to feel comfortable enough to ‘come out’. Melanie has received a lot of help and support from the team here at Awaaz and now feels confident enough to come to the studio as Melanie making her the first transgender Drive time presenter on ANY radio station throughout the country (as far as we know). Melanie also does a show called Break the Bias with her co-host Greg. In this show, they promote women’s sports, disability sports and LGBTQ+ sporting activities… hence they Break the Bias. 🙂
