Wish You Knew

Wish You Knew strives to humanize minority identities, unique perspective, and unconventional lifestyles by providing a platform to those whose voices are not always heard. Each week we will meet with a new guest who self claims a minority identity, unique perspective, or unconventional lifestyle. We will learn about how they experience life to look for the similarities we all share instead of the differences that some use to divide.
