What community, creativity, and visibility look like during this time has changed drastically. Over the past few months, physical communities and gatherings have shifted online and grown creative in forming new ways to connect and engage with each other. Julie Rae, Nicole, Keamber, and Natasha will be discussing the queer experience during quarantine and exploring how things have changed for them while self-isolated.
