Michael continues to share his story, journey and perspectives in part 2 of this conversation.
In this conversation, we talk about themes of gratitude, resilience, and the importance of unity within the LGBTQ+ community.
We talk about diversity, the value of hard work, pride (both good and bad), and our relationships with church. We also talk about his work with the Rainbow History Project and a number of DC black LGBTQ+ pioneers who Michael has collaborated with and befriended over the years.
It was truly an honor to have this conversation with a wise elder, and it gives me some extra hope as we continue to fight for our community, our rights to exist and live with dignity.
