From homeless to Harrods. Jude’s journey of triumph, from tackling addiction and homelessness in childhood to finding recovery, discovering their trans-non-binary identity, healing, and thriving.

In childhood, Jude struggled with their mental health. Unsupported they were the trans child who slipped through the net and tried to change themselves for acceptance of others. Jude lived a childhood of misery, they were homeless and almost lost their life, resulting in lifelong nerve damage at just 18 years old. Jude fought to survive through extreme hardship to tell a story of recovery that eventually became a journey of self-discovery. Over the years they found the power in their voice and began to inspire audiences around Europe as highly sought-after public speaker.

Jude started transitioning at 30 and showed the world that it is never too late to start living authentically. During the first summer after their top surgery, they were cast in a Harrods Beauty Campaign with the tagline ‘My Beauty is Being Myself’ which described their journey in overcoming adversity to finding acceptance and beauty within.

Jude has rewritten the narrative to a story that was written for them by reclaiming their autonomy and finding strength in their vulnerability. Jude tells a story that is relatable to everyone. They are passionate about humanising trans people to help bridge the gap between people’s understanding of the trans experience and to see themselves in their story. Jude’s story isn’t a trans story, it’s a human story.
