Welcome to the inagural season and episode of Love in the Face!

On this season, Love in the Face, Embracing Queer Family, we sit down with individuals and families to discuss the journey of being and embracing queer family and building a stronger community through living authentic lives.

In our first conversation, we sat down with Grace Semler Baldrige, professionally known as Semler, to discuss being queer, finding community, creating music and healing through being our radically authentic selves. We also learned why Grace is making amazing music instead of busting ankles on the basketball court, and why Nicole Kidman appears so often in the queer journey.

Semler can be found on TikTok @semlerrrr and Instagram @gracebaldridge. Listen to their music on Apple, iTunes, Spotify or whereever you listen. They have so much new music to listen to, and you can keep up to date on all of it including their live shows at www.semlermusic.com.

Love in the Face: Embracing Queer Family's theme song is Bianca Stratford by BB Bean (@bbbeaniebabe on Instagram)
