PANEL DESCRIPTION
They want to take our joyâour laughter, our pleasure, our softness. They tell us we are too much, too queer, too Black, too brown, too Asian, too trans, too tender to exist fully. And yet, we are here. We love, we dance, we resist. This panel, featuring Cat, Ivy Monteiro & Nary, is about reclaiming joy as an act of defiance. How do we protect our queer, trans, BIPOC bodiesânot just from harm, but for pleasure, love, and softness? How do we hold each other when the world demands our suffering? Joy is not a privilege. It is our birthrightâour joie de vivre, our resistance, our survival!
This panel is for QTBIPOC only!
