Finding your LGBTQ+ community at academic conferences

Six years ago, four friends and I sat at a tall wooden table near the entrance of Darwin’s Pub and waited to see if anyone else would show up. We had just come from the keynote presentation after a full day of conference talks at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology’s annual conference. That […]

Navigating Safe Spaces After Graduation

The University of Southern California, my very-soon-to-be alma matter, is surrounded by four walls. That line could be taken as a cute expression to represent the usual college-student campus isolation, but I am being quite literal when I say the university park campus is surrounded by four, heavily-guarded fences. Though they have been here for […]

Confessions of a Recovering Impostor

On the evening of October 13, 2018, I gave a speech in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. The room was packed with nearly hundreds of LGBTQ professionals, entertainers, writers, and dignitaries whose eyes and ears were transfixed on me.

About three months ago, I started working as the Library Intern at the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center in Allentown, PA, through a grant from the Elton John AIDS Foundation. I was so excited the night before, I could barely sleep. When I walked up to the center and saw the rainbow flags blowing in the […]

Take a Break With Your Favorite Queer Stories

My first instinct was to write this post about what it was like to be back home in Mississippi for winter break. Though I love being close to my family and back in the place that I think of as home, my life there is very different than the one I have at school in […]
