Sometimes, just being heard is enough to change someone’s life. That’s why we are continuing our powerful conversation series, “Sharing Space” – where LGBTQ+ young people sit down with supportive adults to talk, listen, and connect.

We’re currently casting for 2 new episodes:

  • EPISODE THEME 1: Peer Support – We’re looking for LGBTQ+ young people (ages 18–24) who’ve felt the real impact of peer support—whether through a friend, a teacher, a team, an online space, or chosen family. This is your chance to be seen, heard, and to help others by simply telling the truth.
  • EPISODE THEME 2: Conversion Therapy Survivors – We’re also casting LGBTQ+ adults of all ages who survived conversion therapy and are now in a stable, healthy place. This conversation is meant to educate, expose, and empower, with truth at the center. You are not alone. If you’re ready to speak, we’re ready to listen—and amplify.

We are especially hoping to find folks from or currently living in: Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, or Hawaii. But, if you’re elsewhere, don’t count yourself out. 

If you or someone you know is ready to be part of the conversation, apply online at: https://sharingspacecasting.castingcrane.com 

This isn’t reality TV. This is real life. Real voices. Real impact.

Let’s share space—and change lives.

Mental health care providers and researchers alike have long been sounding the alarm about the mental health crisis among Black young people, specifically pointing to increasing rates of suicide. Still, in many ways reflective of our tenacity, Black people are incredibly…

George M. Johnson Is Writing The Roadmap For Black LGBTQ Representation

Amidst a wave of book bans sweeping the nation, George M. Johnson (they/them), award-winning author of the New York Times Bestselling 2020 young adult memoir “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” is ready to fight against everybody trying to silence Black queer writers.  It was in September of last year when George first heard their memoir was being banned in a county in Kansas City, MO. Initially, they laughed about it. Within four weeks, their memoir was being contested in schools and libraries in eight states, and as of now, the number has risen to 19.  George’s laughter then turned to action.…
