Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic and online visual learning, students and staff members have had to go through a very different change this past year. With the transition to Zoom University, a lot of students have felt unmotivated and burnt out with all the school work and pressure of everything else going on.

Identifying as both LGBTQIA+ and Chi/Lat can be difficult to navigate in a heteronormative and white dominant society. Additionally, coming out requires a unique approach that can cut across multiple languages, cultures, nationalities, religious identities and family generations.

Being LGBTQIA+ and Chi/Lat is not a monolithic existence; so, the hope of this discussion is to get multiple authentic and diverse perspectives to encourage and advise younger students who have similar identities.
