“Accessibility is not an extra step. It’s a step you missed.” -Nick Tillem Accessible language at home with all family members is so worthwhile. I sincerely thank all my family members for signing with me at home in my youth. Trans people and Drag artists are also true and authentic human beings of our society. I want you to know you are loved, important and needed! I dedicate “Out There” to those who are isolated, misunderstood and judged by the world.
