VOICES OF PRIDE presented by Amazon Studios
2021

The
Project

For 2021’s LGBTQIA+ Pride celebrations, amidst the ongoing chaos of the pandemic and racial reckoning, Amazon Studios convened a slate of Queer activists, journalists, entertainers and media personalities to share how their work impacts the future of LGBTQIA+ visibility.  VOICES: PRIDE was a wonderful opportunity to foster community and highlight people doing impactful and creative work to make sure queer people have a seat at the table as we build a new, more inclusive and more empowered way of living.

Tré was selected for a 10 minute lightning to discuss his work and how he views queer artists, especially queer artists of color, as leaders many of whom have answered the call to use their practice in a way that builds and guides their communities. Highlighting several artists and artist-led collectives who are doing vital work to uplift and direct resources to their community, create opportunities for connection and to advocate for necessary change.  For more info on the artists he shared information please visit the following links:
