Redefining Family
Does your family say “I Love You” yet it feels empty? You are not alone. Many in the LGBTQ+ community have faced this reality. Host Jonathan Wilson explores how and why we must overcome this obstacle in his podcast Redefining Family. His show spotlights stories of resilience as his guests share how they have redefined their definition of who they consider to be their real family. Heartfelt, honest, and vulnerable, these stories of overcoming shed light on what family actually means.

Zak Krevitt - Queer Expression
On this week's episode of Redefining Family Jonathan had the pleasure of speaking with photographer, activist and artist Zak Krevitt. Zak opens up about his teen years, what it was like coming out to his family and his introduction to West Hollywood nightlife when he was just a teen. He then talks about the underground scenes he has been a part of within the LGBTQ+ community and his current work with the Web3 space where he works with Queer Artists as they try to build a digital museum dedicated to Queer Art and culture.
