Coffee With Convery

Sometimes the most important conversations happen quietly

Away from the noise

Away from the disruption talk

Today I sat down with Lucas Wilson for Coffee With Convery

A PhD and SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto Mississauga

But more than that, a storyteller and advocate

Editor of SHAME S*X ATTRACTION Survivors' Stories of Conversion Therapy

Board member at The ArQuives, Canada’s LGBTQ2+ Archives

Here is what stayed with me

In a world obsessed with innovation

We do not pause enough to honor the human stories that got us here

Lucas works at that intersection where research meets lived experience

where storytelling creates impact

Sometimes the most transformative work is not about what is next

It is about finally listening to what has already been there
