Cockeysville Meeting Room

Memoirist Nia Chiaramonte talks about her gender transition and living as a trans person. She explores the early stages of coming out -- to finally start living as her authentic self.

It is a difficult time living as a trans person, and it takes a great deal of bravery and courage to live as you are meant to be. In her new memoir, I Hardly Knew Me: Following Love, Faith, and Skittles to a Transgender Awakening, Nia talks about finding unconditional love, learning how to survive and how to live as authentically as possible. Book sales and signings follow the program.
