Jadyn is a 21-year-old college student with LGBTQ+ moms living in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up a mixed-race daughter of two moms in a right-wing suburban neighborhood, Jadyn had to learn to advocate for herself and her family at a young age. In this episode, we discuss how she navigated being an LGBTQ+ family in a conservative town and extended family, what it felt like to watch her moms get married, and why her experiences have shaped her unflinching allyship today. At a time when anti-LGBTQ+ policies are being touted as "protecting children," her story reminds us that the kids really are alright — and love, more than anything, makes a family.
Tune in to 'Shining Through the Clouds' as we embark on a journey of courage, empowerment, and unity in the midst of adversity, featuring stories that inspire us to stand firm and create a brighter future for all.
