On this episode of Queer Temple, Laila Paige hosts a discussion with members of the young black LGBTQ+ community. Laila is joined by Temple University students Jumira Justice (she/her), a psychology major; Thalia Lash (they/them), a media business major; and Alana Palmer (she/her), a graphic and interactive design major. Together, they talk about their experiences as queer individuals and how their gender identity has evolved. As college students who identify as both black and queer, they reflect on their unique experiences. Later, they discuss the joys of being part of the LGBTQ+ community and the representation of queer black artists in the music industry.
Queer Temple is TUTV’s first LGBTQIA+ series, co-created by Temple students Christopher Smith and Andreas Copes. The program examines the world through the eyes of LGBTQIA+ individuals, focusing on current events, history, and life in the queer community.
