S01E02: Dusty Childers: TMI Project storyteller Dusty Lynn Childers grew up in Gaffney, South Carolina. As a kid young Dusty felt pressure to fit in and that meant assuming a masculine persona that didn’t quite ring true. Dusty’s story is about the day his straight-talking mother, who he calls a “rainbow dipped witch,” called him out on it. We met Dusty through our partnership with the national LGBTQ suicide prevention organization, The Trevor Project, in which ten storytellers from around the country convened in NYC for a marathon week of TMI Project storytelling workshops culminating in Life Lines: Queer Stories of Survival, a live performance at the Signature Theater off Broadway. by The TMI Project Story Hour
