Episode #11: Jaxson Elliot on how to BE LOVE

Right before the new year, I got to chat with my friend Jaxson Elliot (who I originally met as Jackie) about how to BE LOVE. How his experience navigating life as part of the LGBTQIA community has shaped his beliefs about human possibility, and what he wishes upon the world in this new year and beyond. I left our conversation inspired and hopeful about our collective future, because I know people like Jaxson will be in it. Enjoy ❤️ (and don't mind the birds and cars that joined our audio a few times in between)! If you want to connect with Jaxson directly, find them on Instagram at @whodatjaxx This is a public episode.
