Q Summit is a program aimed at creating safe spaces and exploring advocacy through art for 2SLGBTQIA+ and allied youth. During Spring 2021, eight youth participated in the Q Summit Mentorship Intensive facilitated by artists Em Dial and Cass Myers.

Over the course of ten weeks, the participants sharpened their spoken word, poetry, and creative writing skills, while investigating themes of community, mental health, intersectional identity, and more.

This anthology showcases some of the incredible work developed by mentees during the course of this program. We hope you enjoy their work and join us in imagining braver, safer, more abundant worlds for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth.
