Under the Umbrella is a Montréal-based platform that wants you to reflect and share your thoughts on gender expression. This podcast's goal is to encourage people to start thinking about gender and how they express it, and to normalize these conversations in society and our own lives. ~ Sous le parapluie est une plateform montréalise qui veut encourager les gens à réaliser une réflexion sur le genre et comment elle se traduit au quotidien. Notre objectif est de normaliser les conversations sur l'expression des genres dans notre société et dans nos vies.
