On this week’s 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.

I 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.
