Jenni (she/her) is a bus driver who has lived on Yorta Yorta country for most of her life and identifies as being bisexual, but a little more on the lesbian side of the spectrum.

In this episode, Jenni discusses her journey of coming out later in life after choosing to follow heteronormative standards as a young person to protect her own safety. Unfortunately, Jenni had several gay friends that died by suicide and she shares how this affected her life and decisions. She also speaks about how Out in the Open Festival has helped her to find her pride and community for over a decade. Jenni shares her anticlimactic experience of coming out to her sons and how she has always been proud of them, but now they get to be proud of their mum too.
