Pride Panel Discussion

It’s Pride Month, and with everything going on in the world right now, it feels especially important to pause and reflect.

In this special panel discussion episode, Reno Johnston is joined by three incredible guests—Mark Fleming, Keone Wales, and Jordan Layne—for a candid panel discussion on the meaning of Pride: where it began, how it’s evolved, and what it means to each of us today. Together, they explore questions like:

• What does Pride mean to you?
• What was your first Pride experience?
• How has Pride changed since then?
• What would you like Pride to become?

This conversation isn’t a history lesson or a debate. It's an open, honest sharing of lived experience. Whether you’re a seasoned activist or celebrating your first Pride, we invite you to reflect alongside us and consider what Pride means to you, not just this month, but all year round.
