Coming out is not a single moment-it's a journey.
A journey filled with fear, hope, questions, courage, and ultimately, self-acceptance.
Coming Out, Becoming You is a compassionate, practical guide for anyone navigating the coming-out process-whether you are just beginning to question, preparing to share your truth, or learning how to live openly and authentically.

Inside this book, you'll discover:
How to understand and accept your identity at your own pace
When, how, and if to come out-and how to decide what's right for you
