Do you have a story to share,
but can't create your own video? Maybe it's your own story.
Perhaps it's the story of someone you've known or read about in the news. Maybe it's the story of an LGBTQ+ organization or cause. There may be a young, budding video creator who would like to produce your story as their video project. Share your story with us and we will try to match you up! |
