Sharing Space, a new roundtable series featuring conversations with LGBTQ young people, provides a much-needed platform for young trans and nonbinary voices to share about their personal journeys and explore what genuine allyship looks like among curious, open-minded adults and allies.
The first episode of “Sharing Space” features six trans and nonbinary young people who sit down with long-time Trevor Project supporter, Daniel Radcliffe, to have a candid, vulnerable and illuminating conversation about their unique lived experiences.
The Trevor Project’s mission is to end suicide among LGBTQ young people. If you or someone you know needs support, text START to 678678, call 1-866-488-7386, or visit TheTrevorProject.org/Get-Help to chat.
