The Queer Soul Spotlight
by Jenni Chapman
There are infinite ways to be LGBTQ+! I'm Jenni, a queer and nonbinary photographer. I know what a huge impact each person's story can make in the world! We need to get beyond labels and stereotypes and talk about how the limited representation queer people get in the media isn't diverse enough. When you live loudly as your authentic self, it gives permission to others to do the same. I'll be sitting down with my LGBTQ+ friends, nominees who participate in my new offer The Queer Soul Experience, and total strangers from an intersectional range of backgrounds and life experiences. Join me!
