Storytelling is at the Heart of Belonging for Gen-Z LGBTQ Christians
Reflecting on her 2024-25 Hackworth Fellowship Project, “Queer, Religious, and Gen-Z: A Call for the Dignity of Belonging,” Santa Clara University graduate, Grace Davis ’25, shares her story for how she came into social justice work with Outreach.faith.
Davis writes:
"In a moment of growing support for LGBTQ rights from religious leaders and simultaneous life-threatening attacks in the name of religious convictions, I felt existentially out of place. Yet, I knew I was not alone. As I wrestled with questions on the ethics of dignity and belonging, I searched for stories like mine."
