Modern personal narratives
I have found the personal narratives and diaries we have read in class fascinating and was thinking about YouTube as a modern extension of those sources. It acts as a sort of time-capsule and has an interesting tone--more raw than interviews or more manicured books, but less private than a diary. I learned most of what I know about the queer community through YouTube testimonials and stories. I was thinking back on my experience acquainting myself with the LGBTQIA+ world and remembered this playlist of videos I found really enlightening. It was put together by one of my favorite YouTubers Ash Hardell who creates LGBT educational videos. It features a wide variety of creators and identities, with some videos that are more raw than others. I hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1g3MXAZto6JCfsVdWEr14J8Sz_0qiDUK
