Manage episode 456813216 series 3488351
In this episode, we sit down with Adam Bouska and Jeff Parshley, the trailblazing founders of the NOH8 Campaign. What began as a grassroots response to California’s Proposition 8 has grown into a global movement advocating for equality, inclusion, and self-expression. Adam and Jeff share their journey from their first MySpace (remember MySpace?!) photo shoot to traveling to 23 countries — inspiring change across small towns and big cities alike. They reveal the challenges of building a nonprofit from scratch, the power of storytelling through art, and why their mission is more urgent than ever.
