Episode 2
Amplifying LGBTQ+ Voices
Description
Pride is the promotion of the self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility, something that Brown Sugar Talk aims to embody in each episode.
In honor of Pride month, Episode 2 highlights three inspiring individuals with unique backgrounds who are proudly part of the LGBTQ+ community. The discussion covers the complex intersectionality of being Black with their LGBTQ+ identities including their journey to self-love while navigating family and societal acceptance. As always, the guests end this episode with personal advice on how to inspire their communities in today’s delicate climate.

Testimonial
“I really appreciated hearing about the complex intersectionalities of the individuals in episode 2. I’ve been so moved by the vulnerability of the panelists and the respectful energy of those listening (yes, you feel it even through Zoom).
We hear you, we see you, we love you.
Thank you for this space Amy.”
