PrideCast
Born during the pandemic to create a space for LGBTQIA+ folks in Seattle to gather, the PrideCast continues even as we get back to in-person events. PrideFest is an arts and cultural non-profit that does advocacy and our PrideCast guests and content reflect that. Hosted by Seattle PrideFest Executive Director Egan Orion.

PrideCast Episode 22: Trauma, Recovery, and Giving Back
•
Seattle PrideFest
In this episode of the PrideCast, we learn the stories of three LGBTQIA+ Seattleites as we take a journey through trauma, recovery, and giving back. Learn about one woman spontaneously "playing" the piano (the soundtrack for this episode), how a second trip to prison was a turning point for one young man, and the healing power of beauty pageants for another of our interviewees, one of the few refuges from his cult upbringing. The stories are all different, the paths to recovery all varied, but you'll find the beautiful lives these three have created from trauma and struggle to be inspiring and unexpected.
