Samira Obeid or Sam as most know her is a writer, multimedia content producer and creative thinker above all. An Indian butch lesbian originally from Chennai, she uses her identity and her pen as a way to create dialogue about the human existence that is often difficult to open up to an audience. She likes to believe she is a advocate of truth and liberty in its rawest forms, and has every intention of proving herself along life's every path. On an honest note, she loves entertaining a unsuspecting audience.
A complex and passionate tale about gender, body, sex, love, life and dreams.
“I have been at my witтАЩs end grappling and struggling to come to terms with a rather unsavoury and a nasty incident that two of my gay friends A and B, my boyfriend and I have had to face and suffer тАУ quite ironically тАУ on the night of the LGBTIQ Pride in Bangalore.”
Film screening and panel discussion on gender, sexuality and violence on Friday Feb 22, 2013, as part of Prajnya’s film festival on gender violence at Goethe-Institut, Chennai.
Transgender rights activists from different parts of India speak candidly about their life, love and relationships. Produced and directed by Chennai based activist Kalki Subramaniam.
On May 10th, Anil Sadanandan (who also went by Mariya), a trans activist living and working in Kerala, India was brutally murdered.
One year after coming out to her parents as trans, Brenda still finds them in denial and hoping she will return to being their son.
Stirring piece! Thank you for sharing, Sam. We’re waiting for the day you get to perform for us in Chennai ЁЯЩВ
