Synopsis:
We are producing a 4-part, uplifting, compelling, entertaining and informative web series where we hear first-hand from LGBTQ+ individuals about what their labels (or lack thereof) means to them. Young queer and questioning people will turn here when they are too afraid or have no reliable resources to turn to for advice and support, and they should also feel validated with the understanding that they are not alone on their SOGI journey.
The purpose of this video series is to have conversations to inspire young people (ages 13-18) to be more boldly themselves - you will be speaking directly to them.
TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS 18-30 years old, Any ethnicity. Must be open to telling their story and want to help kids 13-18 be boldly themselves.
GENDER NON-BINARY & NEO-PRONOUNS INDIVIDUALS 18-30 years old, Any ethnicity. Must be open to telling their story and want to help kids 13-18 be boldly themselves.
BI AND PANSEXUAL INDIVIDUALS 18-30 years old, Any ethnicity. Must be open to telling their story and want to help kids 13-18 be boldly themselves.
LGBTQ+ INDIVIDUALS 18-30 years old, Any ethnicity - with a defined personal aesthetic and style that reflects their own individuality and personal gender expression. Must be open to telling their story and want to help kids 13-18 be boldly themselves.
