Join me for a conversation with the current president of the Knox Pride Board, John Camp.  John discusses his lived experience of being empowered from an early age by his mother, and his work of paying that empowerment forward. He discusses exciting news on the forefront for Knoxville and a new Knox Pride resource center that's coming to town in September. We discuss what it means to live an empowered life and his hopes for helping LGBTQIA folks and our allies in Knoxville to do just that. He also discusses Knox Fringe which is a group of performers, artists, and "fringe arts performers ".  John is a part of a lot of exciting work here in Knoxville while tending to his family with his husband. Check out our conversation.
