This interview with Sara has to be one of my favorites. Not only is she one of the sweetest people, she is very smart and insightful. Sara takes a look back at how her upbringing effected her identity and how she plans to help future generations to not fall victim to what she went through. She explains how she uses art and craft to hopefully create a better future for those around her. I absolutely loved this talk with Sara and can't wait for you all to listen!

Jacobi and I have known each other since around 2016. We worked together quite a few times in college on various projects. I've watched over the years as they have continued to stand in who they were and never falter and admired their ability to always speak up, especially for those who couldn't. So when the idea to do a pride segment came up, they were the first person I thought of. Jacobi came on board as an interviewee and as a casting producer, helping me reach out and find this fantastic group of people that I was able to talk to and learn from over the past weeks. I am so excited to share this great discussion I was lucky enough to have with them on the show. If you'd like to watch the episode you can find us on Instagram, Facebook & Youtube!

The group discusses how all of our experiences during 2020 were different but similar in so many ways. We talk about what this means for our generations and those to come. To have grace, be kind, and listen - not just for yourself but for everyone around you.

Carina looks back on how 2020 changed her perspective on not only the world but personal growth as well. What she faced in 2020 in her own life and how it ultimately affected how she was able to walk into 2021 after everything we'd been through.

Ebony reflects on 2020's oppositions, challenges and even victories. How she stayed true to herself through all of it, and how it fueled her art but also taught her to give herself grace.
