Starting in June 2024 WREB will air the brand new show hosted by Emma Dowd called Reminisce every Sunday from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.

Reminisce is a show unlike anything she’s ever embodied because it takes two of her passions and combines them into one. This show will do exactly what the title says, it will make you reminisce through old time radio, television, and things long gone while putting it into a show you can enjoy weekly. She loves getting on the air and entertaining and now she can do it in a new and fun way.

Old time radio and things of the past helped define our lives. Sadly as we move forward into the future many of these shows, pop culture and stuff just gets forgotten. This show is very important to bring to the new generation what their parents and grandparents experienced.

On April 18, 2024 CHAT Magazine, a UK publication, dropped their latest edition which featured Emma Dowd on the front cover. They predominantly only sell digital editions but paper versions are available throughout the United Kingdom and select cities throughout the United States.

The edition comes shortly after Emma’s story appeared in the Daily Mail, The Sun and The Mirror. All publications that service the United Kingdom. This however is different because this is also in print. Its the first time Emma has ever appeared in a print magazine and she’s excited over the opportunity.

The story is a first person account of what would have been going through her head growing up, then learning she was female rather than male as she thought. The story isn’t completely true, as it was modified to entice readers with drama and fit their style of first person narration. The article does show Emma as a very young child, a photo of her as a man (her hair was edited to look more masculine) and finally a photo taken last November.

The story does have some accuracy and some embellishments which I always expect so you can’t take everything here as “true” or “told by me” but for the most part it does in a way get inside my head as I lived as a man then finally my birth gender. Its a very emotional situation to relive and rehatch. I’m sure that some will dislike me based on the article while some it will be inspired. I do hope my story helps others going through this situation or something different; this is the only reason I ever said anything publicly.

(Tampa, FL – 10/26/23). October 26th is the official day of Intersex recognition around the world; which makes it fitting that the city of Stamford, CT had the states first Intersex Flag Raising Ceremony, and honor Emma Dowd in a new tradition.

Emma was born in Bristol Connecticut November 1, 1978. A new Connecticut native that would start her life with complications. Emma was born Intersex, 46 XX CAH to be exact. Emma was raised as a male by her family until she found out the truth in 1996, her junior year of high school. She would continue to live as a man despite the diagnosis and took testosterone to ensure it. However in 2019 a hit to the head would shake up her puberty gland and cut off her over production of testosterone allowing her true gender take over.

On the national intersex recognition day, the city of Stamford, CT decided to officially recognize the day with an intersex flag raising ceremony. Stamford became the first city and state to honor it over the official buildings. Mayor Caroline Simmons presided over the ceremony and recognized Emma on a video, and welcomed her Connecticut heritage. In turn, Emma became the first honoree in the state of Connecticut; fitting since her family which goes back to the late 1600s, established other cities like Guilford and took leadership roles there and statewide. Now she joins the tradition of making Connecticut history her family started 300 plus years prior.

I grew up reading about my family on the Dowd side and their contributions to the state and cities throughout the colony till the statehood of Connecticut. Knowing I could never fight for the United States to honor that legacy (health reasons), I never thought I could contribute to the states history – living in Florida didn’t help. Then this amazing opportunity came about and I found out I’m the first. It’s a complete HONOR to be recognized by my state and be a part of the states history – joining my ancestors who pioneered before me. It’s incredibly emotional and tears of joy flowed down my cheeks today. Thank you Mayor Simmons for this amazing opportunity, and to represent a condition we didn’t choose to have and help dissolve the stigma behind it.
