Finding Joy in Unraveling

The journey to authenticity is a challenging but rewarding one. In this episode, Rebecca Wilson, a queer poet and storyteller, shares her personal story of coming out and embracing her true self.

Rebecca also discusses the beauty and resilience of the queer experience, reminding listeners that their joy is powerful, worth celebrating, and not limited to the struggles they face. She shares her work with Ten Camels, a project that turns words into water for the thirsty, offering hope and inspiration to those who need it most. Through her poetry, preaching, teaching, and workshops, Rebecca spreads the message that even in the hardest times, there is always hope and a lot to celebrate.
