This is the second episode of a three-part series with the lovely & charismatic entertainer Ms. Darlene.
We take off discussing Asian culture around trans women and the expectations, pressures and limited choices that are taught, is the only way to live. However, Darlene shows us that in our search for finding our own identity, we can't always follow the crowd because it can stifle our voices and impede our journey in pursuit of a better life. This takes courage, confidence and dedication to oneself to pursue such ambitious goals. The support and love from others can greatly help those traveling the path less traveled. The conversation leads to a more vulnerable story about acceptance, self reflection and healing from relationships where Tiffany and Darlene share personal experiences. Darlene also shares her proudest moments with us, pulling our hearts as she spoke! She teaches us that we define our identity, how we want to live and choose the people we want to grow with. As we experience life and become wiser, we will also encounter challenges that would need healing and growth so our future selves can become happy, we need to remember the first step to this journey is to love oneself.

Nurul Darlene Illyana is a Singapore-born Australian transgender cabaret entertainer. Her transition was met with  peaks and valleys since the 90’s with much perseverance, but once she arrived in Australia, her life altered to a world of endless possibilities. Her entertainment career soared from winning singing competitions, and getting gigs with recommendations from Australia's iconic Carlotta & Christy McNicols. Her growth gave her the confidence and inspiration that led to her winning Best Costume Award at 2013 Mardi Gras. One other great experience that she wasn't expected at all was being co-featured in a BBC Documentary about the transgender beauty pageant in Thailand. Singing in a 2 hour concert with a LGBTIQ Orchestral band was another one that will always have a very special place in her heart.
