“It’s Not Something I’ll Grow Out of”: A Conversation with KYC Youth, Phynix
Description
On this episode of Speaking Queerly, Mallory (she/her) interviews Phynix (he/they), a long-time KYC youth who recently aged out of Kaleidoscope Youth Center’s programming. The two discuss the importance of having space to honor all facets of one’s identity, Phynix’s experience leading KYC’s float during the Columbus Pride March this year, the ways that he has grown throughout their time at KYC – and how he tries to show younger youth the same support and mentorship they received, too.
