Family,

Here I’m rocking our first Family hoodie. It’s cozy!

Family. A word I started saying to welcome our listeners into a news story has become a movement. A movement that reminds us that family means something. It says β€œI get you” & β€œI got you” because even in the darkest of times, it is our care for each other that will get us through. So it is my hope that when you rock this hoodie it becomes a tangible representation of that love and care.

Family, My semi-break from the pod has officially ended. I'm feeling ready to take on another year of the Queer News podcast. As I reflect on the last three seasons, every year I can find story after story which affirms just how important this work really is in the world. I suspect this year will be no different. So I'm here and very committed to telling stories of the most underestimated. We deserve this and so much more. I hope you enjoy this week's episode. Talk soon, Anna Ohhh & Quick...
