Networking
Ezra currently lives in Sydney, Australia and is open to networking, keynote speeches based on their own lived experience, writing online, panels, and podcast experiences. Though they are just branching out to spaces other than their self-made brand, financial contributions for such appearances would be appreciated, though not always necessary and would be determined by a case-by-case basis.
Axolotls in a Trenchcoat
Though their initial Youtube channel AgenderAgenda began as a means of documenting their transition as a nonbinary person, they have since started a new channel called Axolotls in a Trenchcoat, in which they document their life healing from childhood trauma and how the intersections of mental health, race, queerness and neurodivergency impact their livelihood. The primary content of the channel has been about their experience as a person with parts (Dissociative Identity Disorder), however, they recently have been branching out their discussions to encompass the aforementioned experiences.
more about the author
Ezra proudly identifies as Queer, both as a means to reclaim the label while also using it as a catch-all of their identities as someone who is nonbinary, demisexual, panromantic, and polyamorous. They identity with the term transracial, due to growing up white while being a mixed race. Growing up estranged from their cultural background as their parents were divorced, Ezra talks explores themes of racism and ‘belonging’ within some of their content. Along with producing videos, Ezra is an aspiring writer, which they began exploring through blogging along with private pieces as a means of processing their trauma. As of 2022 they are currently working on a memoir

In 2023, with encouragement from my therapist, partner, and care-worker, I decided to begin writing a memoir. I am hopeful that it is something I can not only finish, but also publish perhaps in 2025. Keep an eye on this site for any quotes or sneak peeks over the course of 2024.

I believe that a key aspect of 'recovery' is to be as authentic as possible. When we aren't true to ourselves it becomes a lot easier to detach from life and the world around us.
As I work through my own traumas, I wish to learn and grow as a person. A big part of that is taking ownership for my own actions and adjusting behaviours as necessary.
I believe that it is important to foster safe, accessible, and inclusive spaces wherever possible, as a means of showing care to those around us and opening larger spaces for communication.
Candid Interview hosted by Michelle Mana, discussing my experiences with therapy as someone healing from childhood trauma. We talk a bit about medical professionals and how some view dissociative identity disorder, along with personal views on subjects such as “functional multiplicity vs final fusion”.
Latest vlog on my Youtube channel where I give an update on how life, therapy, and everything else is going for me. I discuss my plans for the upcoming year
People are afraid to heal because their entire identity is centered around the trauma they’ve experienced. They have no idea who they are outside of trauma and that unknown is terrifying

So often survivors have had their experiences denied, trivialized, or distorted. Writing is an important avenue for healing because it gives you the opportunity to define your own reality
Ellen Bass
After trauma it can be easier to stick with what’s familiar. New things, even new ways of thinking, can feel dangerous. It’s part of your neurobiology, to guard against danger. But it also limits you. It keeps you stuck in painful thought patterns and beliefs, because it feels safer than trying something new.
