Regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, everyone has a closet. Closets designed to make us acceptable to society. As Angel takes you on her journey of coming out as gay to her evangelical community, the effects of gay conversion therapy and the deconstruction of her faith; we are reminded of the cost of hiding who we truly are and challenged to live authentically as we reach for the next best version of ourselves. As you listen, be inspired to go beyond the walls of your closet and take a clearer look at what motivates you to be who you are in society. Angel is originally from Liverpool, England, and currently resides in Portsmouth NH.
