S1E12: Gay Pride & Prejudice (Part 1) featuring Dr. Arnel Calvario
Show Notes

This is part 1 of my new "Gay Pride & Prejudice" podcast series in celebration of LGBTQIA+ Pride this month of June.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Arnel Calvario.  He is the founder of KABA Modern and KM Legacy Dance Family.  He is also a community leader, an educator, a doctor in real life (practicing Occupational Therapy), and a current member of KINJAZ.

Hear Dr. Arnel's story as he talks about his journey navigating his sexual identity, his family's reactions to him coming out, his passion for dance, his thoughts on activism, and how he became a leader both in the dance and the Filipino communities.
