Taking Pride

Season 8 Episode 21 | 26m 14s

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

Aired: 06/08/25
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD Channel and GBH. In partnership with Tell&Act.
