How do you think about when you're building these larger communities, focusing connection and like thriving versus some of the trauma bonding default survival relational things that can tend to happen?
21:03
We think about that a lot actually.
21:04
And that, I think that is very reflective on programming.

I actually want to take a step back because it's really, really important for me and for my team as producers to not produce from a space of trauma because we are all also queer.
21:27
So we all have our lived experiences too.
21:31
So it's really, really important that when we're thinking about it and thinking about how we're going to organize the community, that we are taking care of ourselves and we're not coming from a place of trauma.
21:42
Because when we do, the community is not going to survive for that.
