Upcoming Documentary Screening

Unsung: Queer Portraits of Authenticity and the Cost of Its Absence

Hi everyone! You may have noticed I was absent in May, which wasn’t my intention. I have been navigating difficult and overlapping periods of change and transition, including the death of my beloved grandfather, a job change, and a move.

So today, in lieu of an essay, I come with an announcement: I will be featured in an upcoming documentary titled Unsung: Queer Portraits of Authenticity and the Cost of Its Absence!

A lyrical short film amplifying the voices of four LGBTQ+ individuals as they reclaim identity, rewrite inherited narratives, and step into the quiet power of living truthfully. Unsung is a meditation on authenticity, well-being, and what it costs to be silenced — and what it gives to be seen.

This 35-minute documentary is a collaborative project between

Mr. Troy Ford

and

Kimberly Warner

, and features myself,

Dalia Kinsey

,

Gail Marlene Schwartz

, and antmen pimentel mendoza.

There will be an online screening of the film at 2pm ET this Sunday, June 29th, followed by a Q&A session. The screening link can be found below!

I would love it if you could make it and spend time with us - I so enjoyed being interviewed by Kimberly as a part of this project. It was an honor to be invited to tell my story! Here’s a sneak peak of one of my clips:

Thank you all for being here to witness my journey in all the forms I’m able to share it. Thank you to

for being a sensitive and thoughtful host. I can’t wait for you all to see it!
