Juggling her multiple roles as a co-founder of Trans Sisters United and Trans Pride March Melbourne, as well as her work on the airwaves as one of 3CR’s radio host and producer for Queering The Air, it’s not hard to see Sasja’s dedication and passion for equality and human rights. While Sasja's unwavering vocal advocacy for her community comes from a place of strength and empowerment, it’s taken a journey of learning and self-determination for her to reach this point.
