The I in Us: Reflection and Issy Special

The magical Paul and little Jase host yet another exciting episode of The I in Us.

The I in Us is the only intersex program in Australia. In under twelve months, the program has generally become a significant means of support. In particular, this popular program is proving to be very helpful for those who are still trying to find support within the community. For more information, visit https://www.joy.org.au/theiinus

The first part of the episode is a reflection of previous episodes since the beginning of the show in February, 2024. Many and varied inspiring special guests have shared their lived experiences, and suggested channels through which others are able to find support. As such, in a very short time the show has successfully attracted a following both nationally and internationally. Hear how The I in Us has become so successful, and so important not only within the intersex community, but the wider community as a whole.

Parents of intersex youth, intersex individuals reaching out, authors, musicians, film-makers, advocates, peer support personnel, allies, and many others have tuned in to The I in Us. Over thirty-five people have been interviewed in just twenty-five shows. The program enjoyed even more success during Radiothon 2024. The amazing hosts, Paul and Little Jase, raised over $15,000 for JOY, in a first ever Radiothon for this show. Paul and Little Jase sincerely thank again those generous people and organizations who donated.

Isabelle James(Issy)

During this episode Paul and Little Jase welcomed to the studio another special guest, the delightful Issy James. Issy comes from a health-care background, as well as having worked in the not-for-profit sector. Having a background revolving around caring and support makes Issy the successful person she is today. Issy is now CEO for JOY, and continues to be a very caring, kind person as well as an efficient, well organized and productive leader.

Issy believes that to have and continue to have an intersex voice in the media is crucial. This voice can empower not only the intersex community, but the wider community as well. The I in Us is a successful medium through which the intersex community can be empowered. The show is able to advocate for people and de-stigmatize intersex. The I in Us plays an important role in making society aware that intersex people are incredible; they are capable and professional like everyone else. They are not invisible.

So grab a coffee, relax and be inspired by another amazing episode of The I in Us.

ENJOY!

Please share: the more we reach, the more lives we can change.
