πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆβœ¨ A Queer News Special. Trump Won. Now we Prepare, Protect & Persist


Family,

What a rough week. I'm bouncing back and there is still so much to take in and process. I shared everything I have on the podcast so no video today. I wanted to provide you with critical information so you can properly prepare for a Trump presidency. Nothing should be taken for granite in this moment. It is imperative that we prepare, protect and persist.

Take good care of yourself.

Talk soon,
Anna
