sade and her son have a beautiful bond

Izaak Theo Adu is sharing the intimate parts of his life with the world. His Instagram account has become an in-depth look into some of the most important relationships in his life: his relationship to self and his relationship with his mother, Sade. 

Adu is as impactful as his mom. By sharing his life on social media, he has assumed the role of a teacher and friend to many. He uses his platform and story to normalize and celebrate his trans experience thus celebrating all trans experiences. He often credits his friends, family and specifically his mother for offering him support and courage on a journey in which all people should be supported but often times are not. He is generous, sharing his community with those people who may need one. We are all invited on this journey with him. 

Most recently, Adu has posted about the end of a 6-month journey in which he and his mother completed their fight to make sure Adu could be the man that he is. In celebration of his path thus far, here is the social journey of Izaak Theo Adu’s road to being himself.
