We’re talking about Activism this month and we are excited to have one of our most dedicated activists in the Queer community, Anna Nguyen, president of PFLAG Austin. Anna talks about how PFLAG is working to support the community during COVID-19, the need for a true Queer Community space, and personal rewards she's gained through service-based activism. It’s a powerful discussion that will inspire you to take action in your own, unique way.
