    Celebrating Pride: Exploring Queer Identity (through Kindness)

    “Who am I?” is a question that most of us will ask ourselves throughout our lives.

How then, can we figure out who we really are, or take pride in those identities? These are some of the questions that host Jennie Brooks and Jamila Holt, a lead scientist at Booz Allen, explore in this episode. Wondering how “kindness” figures in to all of this, and what this has to do with Queer identity? Tune in to find out!
