Our 'Dear Little Q***r Me' series continues with powerful letters that explore the intersections of family, identity, and self-acceptance.

We bring you heartfelt stories from Myx Chanel, drag artist and host of Bekenemen podcast and James Gannaban, international yoga guru and marketing expert.

As we celebrate LGBTQIA+ History Month and National Coming Out Day, we invite you to read, reflect, and share your own coming out stories using the hashtag ***rme.

Dearest Shaolin, Hi. I'm you, at 26 years old, and if I could tell you all the things we've gone through and all the things we’ve managed to accomplish, you'd be surprised — astounded, even — but I know, deep down, it’ll make sense.

If you could write a letter to your younger, q***r self, what would you tell them to give them hope?

In observance of World Mental Health Day and National Coming Out Day, Dear Little Q***r Me Series explores the different ways we experience coming out, and the events that lead to and flow from this pivotal moment in our lives as LGBTQIA+ individuals.

With our histories constantly shaping our identities, we write and share these stories in our onward surge to persist, claim space, and thrive in this world.
