Adrian Gaston Garcia (aka AGG) is a queer Latine storyteller whose mission is to create and share narratives that build community. He hails from the Windy City and has been in the district for the past 15 years. You can catch him going for walks in CoHi while eating Flamin’ Hot Doritos. Adrian fuels his creativity via the performing arts, specifically theater, improv, and spoken word poetry. His work is largely based on his experiences and the intersectionality of his identities. It is a shout out to all the queer brown boys who choose joy as their form of resistance. Adrian’s poetry has been featured at a variety of venues and shows across DC, including BloomBars DC, Busboys and Poets, Homo Stanzas, and The Nail Salon.

Kerri Sheehan is a multimedia storyteller. Professionally, she's an award-winning producer and director, helping corporate, nonprofit, and government clients create video and audio content. She's motivated to make the world a better place through her work, particularly in public health, and perseveres in these...challenging times. When she’s not doing that, she’s an animator creating magical chaos with pen and pixels, or she's making a racket with her collection of oddball stringed instruments.
