Aloha! I’m Raven Shea.

Entry 3 is a combination of responses to the question “What does pride mean to you?” gathered from random people my sister & I encountered while walking along LGBTQ supportive Pearl Street Mall in Boulder Colorado.

It is a beautiful collection of voices from those who walk among us in our community, rather than the voices of professionals or “gurus”. I wanted to capture the authentic street flavor of people who drew my attention for this question.

Entry 3 touches on subjects such as coming out to unsupportive parents, feeling accepted/supported by friend groups when switching pronouns & what that looks like, & how to embody self confidence in a way that comes from within rather than from external validation.

This episode will be especially helpful for those who struggle with accepting their sexuality bc of parental shame!

Thanks for witnessing myself & the rest of these brave souls on this exciting journey through the ebbs & flows.

Leaving you with love & empowerment,

Raven Shea
