Pride Month
My 2019 Rainbow Reading List
I’m just 1 person who read a lot of LGBTQ+ books during Pride Month in 2019. Honestly, I read a lot of LGBTQ+ books throughout the year, but I decided it would be fun to see how many I could get through in just a month. Pride Month was the perfect excuse for me to read so many wonderful books. I even found myself waking up a little earlier than needed some mornings to get some reading in before work.

My 2020 Rainbow Reading List
I’m just 1 person who read a lot of LGBTQ+ books by people of color during Pride Month in 2020. Given the #BlackLivesMatter protests and the state of the world, I used my Pride Month reading project to read mostly books with Black and Brown characters and by Black and Brown authors.

Colton Ford is Older and Wiser This Pride Season
The title track from Colton’s Ford’s new Unity EP is meant to inspire and get hips shaking! The celebratory Pride anthem is a pop track mashed with Caribbean Calypso beats. It urges listeners to come together as brothers and sisters of the human race.

How Pride Made A Better Person
In 2019, different countries are looking for different rules for LGBTQ+ people. Although the struggle for LGBTQ + rights continues, research has found that in 70 countries/regions around the world, “consensual same-sex relationships are still criminalized and punishable by imprisonment, torture and even death”.

The Awkward Teenage Years...
Sometimes, when I look back, and I’m sure many people can relate to this, I felt like I was living a double life before I came out as gay. It was quite a while ago, but every now and then, memories will present themselves and I’ll think about how I would’ve handled situations if I had been honest with myself and those around me.

COME OUT, COME OUT, WHATEVER YOU ARE
First, Happy Pride Month everyone. I applaud every single one of you and I love you all. I even love me. I haven’t always loved myself. I was born in the last century, nineteen-fifty to be exact. I am the oldest boy of eight children. I am the only homo in the lot. My six sisters all have children and my brother took care of ensuring the family name would live on. I’m a great uncle to his grand son. As I said, I’m seventy and I live alone.

Stories By LGBTQIA+ Vocal Creators & The Perfect Songs To Go With Them. Top Story - June 2021.
Every time a new challenge is announced on Vocal that interests me, I jump at the chance to enter. That's the logical thing to do, right? And the most recent challenge that asked Vocal+ members to create a Pride Playlist seemed right up my alley considering that my playlists are full of songs by LGBTQIA+ artists. So I did what anyone would do in that moment and submitted my entry.

My Journey to Happiness
Hello, my name is Queen Amina, I am the Queen of Hearts & Jack of Trades; this is my happy story! My happy story begins with a not-so-happy beginning. In my senior year of high school, I attentively sat in class amongst the other ambitious and excited 2011 class graduates. With three months of school left a career counselor and co-host popular chef stepped into my classroom and stated this quote,” Work a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life!” It was so simply said and understood as I analyzed the room seeing all my peers just as so. On their successful path to living and loving what they do in complete happiness. The nicely dressed and high-paid career counselor encouraging ambitious youth to find their love career. The co-host chef who's living their cooking fantasy at the fancy restaurant on the Vegas Strip. My friend beside me who’s aiming to become a nurse has already been accepted in college. The A-plus student soon to be a restaurant owner. At last, the go-pride artist that easily struts their free spirit life, freely! As for me, well, that was a challenge. "There's still so much I haven‘t learned about myself,” I thought. With so many intriguing skills, talents, and interests, I didn’t know where to begin.

Chameleon Pride Patches
This project began with a creative slump. In May I quit my craft store cashier job, no longer feeling joy from it. For a majority of May I created very little, lots of sketches, but none that I wanted to bring into existence. Nothing was “speaking” to me. I was mentally, creatively, and emotionally burnt-out. After taking the better part of a month off, taking the first real break I could since October, a change was needed.

Cutting Through Clothing Waste: Cause-related Crafting
Cutting Through Clothing Waste: Cause-related Crafting Finding myself with extra time on my hands as a result of COVID-mandated shutdowns, I renewed my passion in all things crafting, a hobby that was a large part of my childhood spent with my even-craftier twin sister. Like most moms, I started making wreaths to both pass the time with my young son and beautify our home, where we were spending more time than ever.
