On this episode we welcome the delightful Alayna Joy, lesbian and LGBTQ+ YouTuber and content creator who speaks candidly about her “late bloomer” queer experience. Alayna opens up about the evolution of her queer identity, pandemic-induced gay awakenings, and the importance of centering mental health while embracing your queerness for the first time. It's a conversation that will enlighten, inspire, and hopefully, provide comfort to those who may need it.
