Summary

We talked to X Gonzalez who led the March For Our lives movement and was a survivor of the horrific  Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. They touched on the struggles of being an activist, choosing what issue to care bout, and being non-binary. This is a great conversation for anyone who wants to find the courage to speak out against the issues close to them.  Socials: @teenagertherapy Website: teenagertherapy.com  teenagertherapypodcast.com Send Us Something: P.O.
