The Queer Question: Luisa's Search for Identity

Join us as Luisa, one of Alli’s associate therapists, walks us through her journey of queerness, starting with growing up in Peru where queerness was taboo and often met with judgment. After immigrating to Canada, she found the space to explore her identity more freely, but also discovered the pressure to define herself within neat labels. She shares the beauty and the struggle of finding identity, belonging and full acceptance of her sexuality, fluid, evolving, and authentically hers.
