Shout out to VoiceWaves youth participant, Yvie Jett (she/they), for producing, filming, and editing this recap reel from the 2024 Trans Pride Long Beach event!

Yvie connected with trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive youth and adult community members, capturing their reflections on this sacred queer gathering and the gender-affirming practices and rituals that bring them joy.

Yvie recently participated in CCEJ’s annual Gender Justice Camp, where they shared this video with an audience of over 100 youth from Long Beach!

We’re incredibly proud of Yvie and excited to support young people in developing powerful media skills that uplift community voices and inspire change. If you're interested in joining VoiceWaves, please email us at comar@yli.org or sign up via tinyurl.com/VWLB2024
