Identity
Representation
A Moment in Media Representation: The effect of one experience on my identity. In the present era, what shapes our perceived worth as single beings and as social entities, as members of society and culture, is reflected in the media. But for many citizens, it is not, and the images that they are receiving and observing on the cultural/satellite television mirrors are distorted or entirely missing. I experienced identity formation through one impactful event and being able to find, originally, a character that looked like me and dealt with real-life issues, trials, and tribulations, that also closely resembled my experience growing up in media that barely represented me.

We Must See it to Believe It.
As a Writer, Author, Poet and World-Shifter, I look to the giants of the past to pave my runway.

When I reflect on why representation of LGBTQ+ trail blazers matters, he is the first icon that comes to mind.
