We're back! Today, we are talking about queer media. Queer media is integral to the ways we might validate ourselves in our lives. In this first episode back after a long hiatus, we are joined by guests Devon and Mathilde in a wonderful conversation about the ways queer movies and music has shown up for us. 

Within the LBGTQ community, it’s Trans folks that face some of the greatest barriers to healthcare access and representation. In media, we continue to hear stories that invalidate Trans lives or limit Trans experiences within the oppressive framework we’re seeking liberation from.  So, the Youth Advocacy Media team (Sarin, Tristan & Champagne) is here to speak for themselves. Sharing what it means to be a Trans youth of color, what advocacy looks like, and what they hope to see in allies and their schools.

Conversation hosted by Tristan.
