On today's episode of Cool Queers Doing Cool Shit, Kelsey sits down with Scout DeSimio, a queer social worker who has been supporting Kansas City social services for over 10 years. Scout shares what they've learned being in collaboration with queer youth facing houselessness through their work at Pride Haven, an overnight shelter for LGBTQ+ youth, reflects on how she's disrupting nonprofit norms, and myth busts around young queers navigating housing insecurity. It's a conversation rooted in the power of trusting people to be the experts in their own lives, offering the support and resources people ask for, and the power in knowing and believing we're all worthy of housing, safety, and care.
Kelsey is always looking for more queers committed to community care to feature on the podcast! If you have a suggestion, drop her a line at coolqueersdoingcoolshit@gmail.com
