Born on July 21, 1996, a baby girl was born to Isaac Theo. The son of music producer Sade and Bob Morgan, he began his transition at the age of 20. On his Instagram account, which is followed by more than 71,000 subscribers, the 28-year-old proudly reveals the scars on his chest. “My scars are there,” she wrote in the caption of a post shared in November 2020. “They give me the freedom to be who I was meant to be.” Before adding: “Sometimes it was difficult to find light. I didn’t know if I would make it to the other side. But here I am, and I wear my scars with pride.”
A “painful” process
During his transition, Izaak Teo really experienced many failures, reports the social network. In July 2019, she described the process as “testing, exhausting, painful, emotionally and physically draining, uncomfortable.” “I often ask myself: “Why do I have to go through hell to be who I am?” But at the end of the day, this is the path that’s been laid out for me, and I’m going to follow it to the end.”
He also paid tribute to his loved ones, the true pillars of this ordeal. “Congratulations to my mom, dad, family and friends for the support you give me every day, I will never forget it,” he concluded. Two months later, she again welcomed her mother’s support in light of these tumultuous six months.
“We did it.”
“It was a long and hard road, but we did it. she enthused in the caption of a photo of herself hugging Sadie. We’re going home.” And the young man continues. “Thank you for staying by my side these last 6 months mom (…) Thank you for encouraging me when things are hard and for the love you give me. The purest heart. I love you very much. the queen of queens.” Last July, Iza Teo also celebrated two years of sobriety after giving up alcohol.
A new life, which a young man with the soul of an artist dedicates to his passions. The one who recently shared a photo of herself in front of a speaker in a studio suggests that she may be following in her mother’s footsteps. Isaac Teo, who lives with his wife in California, also broke into the fashion world in March, walking for Vetements. Not to mention the illustrations, the author of which is himself, and which he highlights on his Instagram account. The posts are interspersed, of course, with many tributes to the translator Uncommon love.
