S1E01: Community Support in navigating new places

Everyone requires support! Some count on family members or friends to provide it, and others can only get it from professionals. Regardless, it is essential to have a network of individuals who can teach, care for, support, and even encourage you when dealing with challenges, new spaces, and changes that come up. Here, I talk with an old high school friend, Quincy, who understands the challenges of moving from place to place and can attest to the essentialness of people who can lend a hand. Quincy Cain is a Black Queer artist and performer born in East Meadows, NY, and Raised in Paterson, NJ. He has performed in shows such as Taming of the Shrew and Man of La Mancha as well as various improv acts. His acting career began at age 12 in his first production of Oliver, which served as a segue into show choir and his musings through rhyme.  He discovered a new love for the storytelling element introduced by writers such as Stephen Sondheim and Howard Ashman. All of this culminates in a modus operandi steered by and geared towards youth and peers alike who have been misjudged and misplaced. Through lyric writing and poetry, he expresses the turmoil and triumph of his life experiences. He aspires to curate spaces that allow others to release common exasperations through forums, stage readings, concert halls, and black boxes.  . . .  You can connect with Quincy on Instagram @q.caain_ .
