Through a Queer Lens

Janel Alvarez
Through a Queer Lens Podcast

I have known that I loved women since I was 8 years old and in this podcast, you will learn more about my journey, the journey of others, and how I have been able to be 28 and open about being queer and that there is so much hope. As a queer Latina, I want to help the youth of my Latinx and LGBTQ communities to get through the inevitable struggle being in a patriarchal and heterosexual world. I will be bringing guests here who are in my life to bring in their perspectives because regardless of how we all identify, in order to better understand yourself, it is important to listen to others and to learn about their history and their perspectives. This is part of the problem here in 2020 ya’ll, even in our queer community, we aren’t all listening to each other and that adds to the anger and adds to the confusion. It is important to take the time to listen to people who you may even hate because I promise you...you learn something about yourself each and every time. If you can do that in a world where the majority can’t for many reasons, you stand out and you become the person our world needs to create effective change globally.
