Stepping Into My Truth: Mari’s Journey Begins

Hey everyone! I’m Mari, and I’m super excited to finally be here writing this. I’ve been part of the blog since last month, but it’s taken me a bit to build up the courage to actually start posting. This little corner is where I’m going to share my journey as a transgender woman. So, to all the new faces here—welcome!

A quick note about my name: Right now, I’m going by Mari, and I’m using Valerie as my second name. But honestly, nothing’s really set in stone yet. I’m still figuring things out, so my name might change as I continue on this path. What I do know for sure is that I’m using she/her pronouns from now on.

In my next post, I’ll dive into what this journey has been like for me so far—how I’ve felt, how I came out to the people close to me, and all the beautiful moments I’ve experienced in the last few weeks. I’m really looking forward to sharing it all with you, so stick around!
