LGBTQ+ representation in media has been a long road to get where we are today. In 2021, Professor Alfred L. Martin, Jr., wrote for The Washington Post “The long road to more accurate portrayals of Black LGBTQ people on television” where he goes into the history of Black gay me on television.

Host Julia Washington and guest John-John Williams IV discuss his relationship with LGBTQ representation in media, starting with his life in high school. 

John-John is a journalist who works for the Baltimore Banner. He previously worked for the Baltimore Sun where he penned articles about life and culture. His way with words provides insight to a community that is often never allowed to just exist.
