"COMING OUT TWICE" is a conversation with Shannon Wong Lerner, Ph.D. (She/Her) is a Chinese-Jewish American Queer leader. She is a speech and communications coach/specialist who talks about her working philosophy and how she came out of the closet twice. In the context of global citizenship, there are so many young lgbtqia+ folks who face pressures, stigma, physical threats and invisibility around the world. This episode acknowledges America's very recent history and reminds us that PRIDE is very much a revolt against shame, internalized oppression and survival based hiding. In countering the invisibility of anti-Chinese American sentiment, racism and xenophobia as well as the added struggles of trans/homophobia, this is the 2nd episode in a row to feature a Queer-Asian identified leader. #diversityequityinclusion #lgbtqiaplus #pride2021 #stopasianhate #standwithasians
