Stories from the Stage

Taking Pride

PREMIERING MONDAY, JUNE 9 at 9:30/8:30c

Pride often begins with a moment of truth, and a choice to stand by it. Deb Vanslet navigates love, parenting, and legal invisibility as a non-biological lesbian mom in the '90s; JJ journeys from child prodigy to queer writer, learning that pride comes from within; and Rev. Irene Monroe shares how the AIDS epidemic sparked change in her conservative Black church. Three storytellers, three interpretations of TAKING PRIDE, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
