In this episode of the Heard Storytelling podcast, we dive into Willem's journey of self-discovery from a challenging childhood to newfound acceptance in vibrant cities like NYC. Willem recorded his story as part of our Proud West End Exhibition, and we explore the reasons behind his decision to share it.
Willem's story vividly portrays the pain and confusion of growing up feeling like an outsider, a ‘spectator’ in his own life. Set against the backdrop of the 1970s, a challenging time for the queer community, Willem's story sheds light on the significance of being seen and heard. We discuss how this era shaped his journey and the impact of public visibility through exhibitions like Proud West End.
We also celebrate the influential role of Mr. Dancer, Willem's drama teacher.
Join us as we delve into the power of acceptance, representation and mentorship.
