BROCODE: The Safe Haven Where Black Trans Men Find Their Voice and Power

Imagine having a circle of brothers who truly understand your journey—brothers you can lean on for advice, travel with, and confide in as you navigate becoming the man you know yourself to be, even if you were assigned female at birth. For the members of BROCODE, this isn’t just a dream—it’s their reality.

BROCODE is more than just a group; it’s a growing brotherhood of trans men who’ve built a safe space to heal, uplift, and grow together. It was born out of a need to be seen, to be heard, and to belong.

“I created BROCODE when I felt like I wasn’t seen or heard—like I could be in the room, but still invisible,” said Jayceon Dido, founder of the organization. “I wanted a space where I could express myself freely and help other Black trans brothers do the same.”

During Sweet Heat Miami last month, the BROCODE brothers gathered to share their stories—raw, real, and unfiltered. From taking hormones to undergoing top surgery, from mental health struggles to moments of empowerment, they opened up about the personal milestones that shape their identities and the legacy they hope to build through BROCODE.

“For me, I never wanted breasts. Looking at my body without clothes—it didn’t feel right,” shared Jah Mickens, a member of the group. “Getting top surgery was life-changing. That’s when I felt like the best version of myself. Being able to walk outside shirtless—that was always the dream. I’ve always been drawn to the male physique, for myself. When I finally got there, it was like taking a deep breath for the first time.”

While each path was unique, they all agreed on one major truth: mental health and therapy play a vital role in the transition process—before, during, and after.

One member, Samaj McDonald, shared a particularly personal experience with starting therapy before being allowed to begin hormone treatment.

“Therapy wasn’t a thing growing up. In my house, we didn’t talk to other people about our problems—we just dealt with them ourselves. So when I found out I had to go through therapy before starting testosterone, it was a huge step for me. I was ready to transition right away, but this forced pause made me slow down and reflect. It ended up being the most important part of the process for me because it helped me understand myself on a deeper level,” said McDonald.

For many in the trans community, there’s still a lack of education around hormone therapy—not just what hormones do, but also the potential side effects if they aren’t taken properly. According to Avery Hicks, incorrect hormone use can result in harmful or even opposite effects on the body.

But transitioning isn’t just about the physical changes. The fellas also opened up about some of the biggest highlights of their journey—moments like getting married, starting families, and being embraced by loved ones. These milestones remind us that transitioning is about so much more than appearance—it’s about finally being seen, accepted, and celebrated for who you are.

If you’re thinking about transitioning or are already on your journey, BROCODE is here for you. Visit https://www.brocod3official.com/about-us to connect, find resources, donate, or attend an upcoming event.
