In this powerful episode of Together Moving Forward, I sit down with Laura Moore, a trailblazer whose journey is a testament to resilience, authenticity, and the importance of living life on your own terms. From discovering her identity as a lesbian in a time when acceptance was scarce to pioneering queer representation in figure skating, Laura opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped her path.
She shares the story of her deep and enduring love with MaryAnn, as well as the struggles and triumphs of coming out later in life. As a former fashion design professor and a lifelong artist, Laura also reflects on the evolving landscape of identity, community, and the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
With humor, wisdom, and raw honesty, Laura reminds us that self-acceptance is a journey, not a destination. Whether you’re navigating your own identity, seeking inspiration, or simply looking for an uplifting story, this episode is for you.
Tune in for a conversation filled with insight, courage, and the reminder that we all have the power to shape our own stories.
