Let's Get Serious

Join us for a special episode of "Let's Get Serious" with Aaron Michaels, where we sit down with the trailblazing Leslie Herod, the first out Black queer elected official in the state of Colorado. Representative Herod shares her battles against systemic racism and fierce advocacy to shut down anti-trans legislation. Her words highlight the importance of visibility and advocacy in our LGBTQ community. This episode delves into the complexities of navigating politics as a queer Black woman, the transformative power of representation, and the vital role of youth in shaping a more inclusive future. Whether discussing the impact of historical movements on today's fight for equality or sharing personal stories of resilience and identity, this conversation illuminates the importance of creating spaces where every voice is heard, valued, and empowered to make a difference.
