Stories in Resistance: Home as Sanctuary for Black Queer Joy

In this powerful episode, Trina Greene speaks with Seven , a Black queer young adult and creative storyteller. Together, they reflect on the urgency of storytelling and family affirmation in a time marked by rising anti-queer legislation. As external spaces become more threatening, they explore how homes can become sanctuaries of resistance, healing, and freedom. Listen to honest reflections on authenticity, identity, chosen family, and why stories at home are as powerful as protest banners in protecting youth. This conversation—part activism, part art, entirely healing—challenges us to imagine what radical care looks like when systems fail us. Seven is a born and raised Los Angeles native, and the only openly queer child amongst her family. A visual artist who loves to draw, animate, sculpt but is partial to painting. Outside of art, Seven is passionate about activism. When they are not creating or aiding the community, they are likely reading a book, watching movies or connecting with nature.
