This week, I sat down with Julie Rae Powers, a photographer based out of Brooklyn NY who’s lived in a bunch of different places in Appalachia. We had a great chat about LGBTQ+ representation in the media, as well as about their upbringing in Appalachia and her current photography work.

"Queer Mountaineers" shares the stories and discusses the issues of the LGBTQ+ community in the state of West Virginia. We want to challenge the popular media narrative of what it means to be LGBTQ+ and being a West Virginian.
