About the Book:

In I Have Always Been Me Brady-Davis reflects on a childhood of neglect, instability, and abandonment. She reveals her determination to dream through it and shares her profound journey as a trans woman now fully actualized, absolutely confident, and precious. She speaks to anyone who has ever tried to find their place in this world and imparts the wisdom that comes with surmounting odds and celebrating on the other side.

A memoir, a love story, and an outreach for the marginalized, Precious’s sojourn is a song of self-reliance and pride and an invitation to join in the chorus.

About the Speaker

Precious is a true renaissance woman; As a native Nebraskan, she has never lost her Midwestern charm. Lauded internationally as an award-winning diversity advocate, communications professional, public speaker, and now author.

With over 15 years of experience in nonprofit administration, leadership development, and public relations Precious is a dynamic speaker and panelist who has been featured at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Reed College, University of Michigan, The Chicago Community Trust, Hampshire College, James Madison University, and the University of Cambridge.

Precious was featured as the first transgender bride on TLC reality series Say Yes to the Dress and went on to break barriers again as part of the first transgender couple to be correctly gendered on an Illinois birth certificate.

Davis finds deep meaning in finding the root of what proliferates bias, bigotry, and prejudice in our world. Through celebrating the beauty of coexistence, uplifting and centering the stories of those who are most marginalized, and seeing that all issues that damn the human condition are interconnected she invites all who come in contact with her to see the resilience that lives within us all.

Precious is married to Myles Brady and is a resident of Hyde Park on the South Side of Chicago.
