Today we have a powerful and heartfelt conversation with guest Sharon “Rocky” Roggio, a filmmaker known for her impactful work on the documentary "1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture." We delve into Sharon's journey of navigating her identity as a lesbian within an evangelical Christian upbringing, her inspiration behind creating the documentary, and the challenges and triumphs she faced along the way. Sharon shares personal stories about her relationship with her non-affirming father, the love and support from chosen family, and the ongoing mission to bring awareness and inclusivity to LGBTQIA+ communities within religious contexts. The episode underscores the importance of open dialogue, empathy, and the courage to challenge long-held beliefs. A perfect way to end Pride Month!
