Pride Palace LGBTQ+ Scholarship
Instagram: @lilly.shay.duran I am proud to be a bisexual woman because I think we are underrepresented in many communities and workspaces, speaking out against hate and misogyny is something I am adamant about. Breaking the stereotypes that women and women in the LGBT+ community are incapable and inferior to men is important to me because it is widely believed but incredibly untrue. We are strong and I want to prove that as best I can.
Bold Moments No-Essay Scholarship
This image is taken from a recent youtube video that I uploaded to my YouTube channel of me covering the song "Easily" by Bruno Major in Sign Language. I have made over 60 videos and I have over 2,000 subscribers. I continue to upload videos because of an experience I had when I made a man who was Deaf’s day because I was able to communicate with him when no one else around us could. I want to continue to break that language barrier, and one way I have found I can do this is through music.
