I think that could be useful, you know, and it might seem like off topic at first for people that, like, aren't aware of the issues within the community. But it's just like, I was reading something where it's like even um the percentage of um LGBTQ plus adults um with a substance use disorder um or who like self-define themselves as like alcoholics is way higher than the average for like just adults who aren't in the community.
What happens when you mix a Pride Conference with deep discussions on substance misuse? You get a conversation worth tuning into. In this episode of 'Rise and Recover', Nancy LeBow sits down with Cheyenne Severin, the Social Media Manager at Alumni in Recovery. Fresh from her time at the conference, Cheyenne brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experiences to the table, shedding light on the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ community regarding substance misuse.

She also emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces where everyone feels welcome and supported. The conversation takes a deep dive into intersectionality, exploring how overlapping identities within the LGBTQ community impact recovery journeys.
This episode isn't just about sharing information; it's about fostering understanding and encouraging listeners to think about how they can contribute to a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ community or an ally, Cheyenne's insights offer valuable perspectives on building stronger, healthier communities.
