Q-Lit Festival: Panel - Main Character Energy
✨ Taking Up Space in the Entertainment World ✨
Polite representation? Not anymore. Get ready to dive into the gloriously messy, unapologetic world of queer entertainment with the fabulous trio: Andy Balloch, Samuel Gaskin, and Thomas Jaspers. These trailblazers are here to spill the tea, ditch the scripts, and show you how to own your spotlight with bold, chaotic, and utterly fabulous energy.
🌟 This isn't your average panel — it’s a vibrant celebration of queer voices claiming their right to take up space without permission. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting to find your voice, you’ll leave inspired, empowered, and ready to shine.
