We Are Still Here: Voices That Refuse to Disappear is a storytelling project by EverKind Collective centered on LGBTQ+ lives, presence, and persistence.

​

At a time when queer existence continues to be questioned, politicized, and challenged, this project creates space for people to simply be seen and heard, on their own terms. Through filmed interviews, participants share personal reflections on identity, resilience, belonging, and what it means to continue showing up in the world as themselves.

​

This project is not about headlines, trends, or soundbites. It is about slowing down, sitting together, and listening. Voices across generations, identities, and lived experiences come together to form a collective narrative, one that acknowledges struggle without centering trauma, and celebrates presence without needing permission.

​

Interviews will be filmed both in person throughout the Northeast and virtually with participants elsewhere. The final project will be released in June 2026 and shared through community screenings, digital platforms, and EverKind Collective’s storytelling channels.

​

We Are Still Here exists as a reminder, one to ourselves and to others, that visibility still matters, stories endure, and our voices refuse to disappear.
