46 - Exploring Queer Identity with Robert Pagan

Queer representation works best when it stops trying so hard and isn't gimmicky?

Robert Jerome Pagan—an award-winning media creator, activist, and CEO—is sharp, funny, and not afraid of personal conversation about queer storytelling, visibility, and what makes representation feel authentic. Robert reflects on growing up queer and brown in the Bay Area. Finding community through LGBTQ+ activism and recognizing his identity before he had the words for it. He shares how those experiences shaped his work as a filmmaker and storyteller—and why he believes representation should come from lived experience, not a checklist.
