In this final episode of season 2 of City Living With Churchill, I read a recent reflection piece. I makes an argument on how self care should include community care.

In this episode of City Living With Churchill, Churchill sits down in conversation with community organizer, nightlife aficionado, and ballroom mother Gia Love on Transforming Trans Visibility and changing the narrative from Trans suffering to one of joy and community love.
