🏳️‍🌈✨ Your Weekly Update: Anna Shares Her Top 10 Moments from the DNC, Lambda Legal Secures Big Win & Big Freedia is Honored


Hey Reader,

Here is a message from Anna

Family, what an amazing week! I'm still recovering and there doesn't seem to be enough sleep in the world but that's okay. It's okay because it was all so worth it. The experience, the people, the moments just all of it was a time I will not soon forget. Thank you for being on the journey with me.

Also, based on the poll it looks like most of us are pretty energized around the election while some of us are are getting there ;)

-Anna

This podcast explores the stories of Black queer people navigating complex relationships with The Black Church. The Church is a nostalgic pillar of the Black community but it’s also been the source of pain and ostracization for many.

When we begin to feel overwhelmed to stop ourselves and breathe in, hold, exhale and then think of something you’re grateful for and do it again. Breathe in, hold, exhale and think of something you’re grateful for. Do it over and over till you feel more balanced. The world is at war, trans rights are under perpetual attack, and so many things just feel upside down. But in the midst of all that there is...

Family, Do you all listen to the end of each episode for Anna’s Got a Word? Reply and let me know. It’s been a staple since season one and before then I had a whole podcast titled “Anna’s Got a Word”. I love ending each episode on a positive note because the news can be so heavy. This week I decided to talk about the power of manifestation. The power we have to speak life over our own lives. our families lives and our dreams. The belief that when you keep a positive mindset, put in the work...

Family, The Ambies ended up being postponed from Monday to Tuesday of last week due to the blizzard. On Tuesday night I gathered on Zoom with some of my fellow nominees and pod friends so we could watch together. I talk about that experience more in my QCrew video this week but it was just what I needed. Now, I didn’t win in my category and there was a momentary feeling of, dang, but then I was ready to move on and cheer for my friends. On this entrepreneurial journey I’m clear we will always...
