What does it really take to lead in the queer community? Is visibility enough, or does authentic leadership require something deeper?

This week on The Pull Up Podcast, Awny sits down with Nik Pettye, leader of The Qindred Qoralition, for a powerful conversation on why authenticity isn’t just a personal choice—it’s the foundation of impactful leadership. Together, they unpack the courage to show up fully, the responsibility of leading with integrity, and how embracing your truth creates space for others to do the same.

Whether you’re a community leader, advocate, or simply navigating your own journey, this episode is a reminder that the strongest movements are built by people who refuse to hide who they are.

Because leadership doesn’t begin with a title—it begins with authenticity.
