How does being queer inform your work?

The work I do is creating safer queer spaces, and it has me appreciate all the different media that can make that happen. Whether it's a digital or in-person platform, I am looking at space, accessibility, inclusivity, creating an experience that leaves people better than I found them.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

I love queer adornment!! The jewelry, accessories, clothing, shoes, makeup, hair styles/colors... It's magical to see how queer people express themselves interacting with their bodies (which isn't always our favorite thing to interact with) and defining their own beauty.

Which other queer people inspire you?

Wow, so many... I think I'd have to say queer youth and young people. They are existing in a world that both celebrates them and discards them, the climatic and economic future that is in front of them is terrifying, and they are still out here being their vibrant selves! They are bringing creativity and innovation, teaching us new ways, and providing another perspective to what's possible.
