LGBTQ+ Americans. Episode 6: Esteban Herevia

Esteban Herevia is the President and CEO of Spokane Pride. He was recently recognized in the Spokane Coeur D’Alene Living “Top 20 under 40” list for 2021.  In this episode Esteban discusses the intersection of LGBTQ identity with communities of faith, and how he finds constant motivation through love. His advice for young queer activists is simple and uplifting: “We need you. You have the desire within yourself for a reason. You're seeing something that I can't see, and you're seeing something that they can't see. And so what are the ways that we can utilize your voice, your experience, your time. Don't discount your experiences. We ain’t got time for that. Learn. Change. Shift. But remember, we need your voice. We need you.”

LGBTQ+ Americans. Episode 5: Cia Cortinas

Cia Cortinas has called Walla Walla her home since childhood. In this episode, she reflects on the challenges of growing up in this area and how her experiences as a bi-sexual Latinx woman has influenced her as an educator. This influence has led her to an inclusive spirit that seeks to uplift people of color, youth, and sober individuals within the queer community.  This focus on inclusion led Cia to lead the largest Pride event in Walla Walla’s history.   “I think that activism is bigger than a march. It's bigger than a rally or a gathering. I think true activism is being able to live your most authentic life. And it's a little bit of a shame that we don't get to move freely like that through our lived human experience. However, I think that that discomfort is just us breaking the mold.”
