About LGBTQ+ Freedom Fighters with Karen Ocamb
-
Karen Ocamb has a broadly informed and deeply experienced view of what it means to be an LGBTQ+ freedom fighter. A journalist since 1973, when she clerked for Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, and Bob Schieffer at CBS News, to producing coverage of the 1984 Olympics for CBS affiliates, Karen joined the “gay press” in the late 1980s after losing more than 100 friends to AIDS. Believing that “the personal is political,” she hopes to inform and inspire intersectional LGBTQ+ people through these shared conversations and stories to find their own power and joy in this long fight for freedom and equality.
