"How Black Queer Culture shaped History"
"Names like Bayard Rustin, Frances Thompson and William Dorsey Swann have been largely erased from US history, but they and other Black queer leaders played central roles in monumental movements like emancipation, civil rights and LGBTQ+ pride, among others. In this tribute to forgotten icons, queer culture historian and TED Fellow Channing Gerard Joseph shares their little-known stories, connecting the origins of drag in the 1880s to the present day and exploring the awesome power to choose how we define ourselves.

"Sundeep Boparai, Listen to Yourself"
"Sundeep (aka King Sunny B) is a Sikh-American born and raised in NYC. His culture and religion are incredibly important to him, but have caused challenges because of his LGBTQ+ identity. King Sunny B wants nothing more than for every South Asian Sikh-American to feel loved and accepted, and that's why he does what he does."
