BJ Pascual, Michelle Dee and Angie and Joey Mead King wear their truth and celebrate pride with Tiffany & Co
A couple who have been in the public eye for over a decade, the Kings' love story is one of deep, steadfast connection. When Angie publicly came out as a trans woman in 2016, five years after their marriage and ten years after their first meeting, it was crucial to have Joey by her side and vice versa.
When asked about how she defines 'pride', Angie equates it to self-discovery and calls Joey her greatest source of strength. 'When I was still beginning to figure myself out, Joey would bring me to the pride events in Los Angeles and Miami,' Angie recounts. 'Without her nurture, love and support, I wouldn't have blossomed into a confident trans woman.'
It's mutual for Joey, who says: 'Angie is inspirational as she lives her truth. It elevates my own, allowing room to shine individually.' Their relationship has only grown stronger through the years, and together, they have become a beacon of hope, not just in the LGBTQIA+ community but for anyone embracing their truth. 'My resilience had been tested many a time,' adds Joey, 'and my love always prevails.'

And so, for both, pride is not just about celebrating who they are today but recognising the ongoing struggles many face, especially in a country where the SOGIE Equality Bill has yet to pass. This same spirit is mirrored in their relationship with HardWear jewellery. 'Wearing Tiffany rekindles loving memories; each time I see my pieces, I feel valued and loved,' Joey muses. Angie echoes the sentiment, calling it a symbol of being 'blessed, luxurious and fashionable'. More than jewellery, it's a reflection of how far they've come, and how boldly they continue to live
