This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers'' podcast follows the passionate journey of Timothy McLemore, founder of Essential Haus, a Miami-based non-profit that supports LGBTQ+ individuals affected by domestic violence and homelessness. In his book, "Love Is Not Abuse," Timothy shares his own personal experiences with domestic abuse in a gay relationship and provides resources and hope for others in similar situations. As a community organizer, social media influencer, and skilled networker, Timothy's mission is to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ relationship issues, and provide a safe space for anyone living a truth not widely accepted by mainstream society.

  • Be Genuine: Authenticity is key to yourself and your story.
