The queer revolution will not be televised. DaQuan Williams Being queer can be difficult. That's why it's important to be proud. Let's get to the nitty gritty of why that is. In this podcast, we'll cover activists, artists, and healers in the LGBTQIA+ communities who are fighting to have their identities honored, their stories told, and their love respected. We use stories to change how we view the world and our selves in it. DaQuan Williams—a proud neurodivergent Black Queer boy from Chicago—offers his own story as host of the Proud About It Podcast. The show aims to uncover the diverse stories within the LGBTQIA+ and QTPOC communities. 55943fec-db42-440a-9c60-8e3ff54bd208 We use stories to change how we view the world and our selves in it.
