Telling LGBTQ Stories with Prism United (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For more than five years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Corey Harvard, Executive Director of Prism United, to tell the stories of LGBTQ+ people in Southwest Alabama.

Together, we explore how questions of authority, his
