This week on Intersections, your hosts Lildonia and Harpreet share personal reflections on the presence—and absence—of the LGBTQIA+ community in their upbringings. Lildonia offers insight into her journey of self-discovery, biphobia and the nuanced process of sharing her identity with her family. Harpreet reflects on growing up in a Punjabi community where Queer visibility was limited, and how that shaped her awareness and allyship.

Join us for an open and compassionate conversation exploring identity, cultural silence, and the importance of representation and inclusion.
