Anthony Giorgio the host of Queer Teen Podcast talks about what it means to have BRAVE spaces for our beautiful Queer, trans, non-binary young people. His mission is encouraging the next generation of Queer Youth from across the world to stand up for what's right. Let’s find out how we can connect all the pieces to truly listen, learn and love. I am Anthony Giorgio and I am going to tell you a little bit about me. I grew up in Worcester, MA in a great house, with great humans and even brought my boyfriend to my prom in 2000! I came out at 16, my first boy kiss was magical and I started to realize all my friends were also pretty GAY. I am an activist, choreographer, podcaster, speaker and teacher. I've traveled to India with Prince Mavendra Singh Gohil for LGBTQ rights, spoken with Afro Queer Podcast for African Queer Rights, worked with GLSEN Maryland for Queer Youth Leaderships workshops and most recently partnered with NYC Pride for a Queer Youth world wide watch party in NJ. I've been fortunate to been featured on CNN with Queer Teen Podcast, The Golden Gays NYC and danced for kindness on The Today show! My work is to create a platform for encouraging the next generation of Queer Youth from across the world to stand up for what's right! We must tell OUR stories so that the world will truly understand who we are. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
