Staying Steady in Your Purpose with Kia Barnes
b'
On this week\\u2019s Level Up! With Shay, I am proud to introduce you to Kia Barnes, comedian, activist, and an LGBTQ community leader. We talk about how at a young age Kia used comedy and humor as a defense mechanism to protect her from people knowing she was gay, the discrimination she faced in schools as a teacher, how she found herself in comedy, the importance of visibility and why she has decided to take on a leadership position in the LGBTQ community, continuing to always walk in her purpose.
\\nI hope you enjoy our conversation and if anything that Kia says resonates with you, please share this episode on Instagram and tag me @levelupwithshay and Kia @kiacomedy.
