Hope, community and ties of love: Listen to the newest Colors of Hope podcast from actor Logan Rozos

“It is our responsibility to find the hope within us and within those around us, and to nurture it and enable it to strengthen us as we build stronger communities, and a safer, more loving, more equitable world.”

Logan Rozos, Colors of Hope, Week of May 10

Logan Rozos (he/him) is a 20 year-old actor and gay Black trans man. He made his professional acting debut in 2019 on the Peabody-nominated television drama David Makes Man, and voiced the audiobook of Stonewall Award-nominated author Kacen Callender’s 2020 book Felix Ever After. He was an honoree in Teen Vogue’s inaugural 20 Under 20 Queer Artists and Activists To Watch and a recipient of the 2019 Parity Award for outstanding work by LGBTQ people of faith. He is currently working on a documentary about trans masculinities and mental health called What Will I Become?

Part of the nine-week Colors of Hope podcast series,  Rozos speaks about hope, community and ties of love:

“I think hope goes hand in hand with a desire to remake the world. The Reverend Chaim Rodriguez, who spoke on the first volume of this podcast, said something I found rather beautiful. He said that the queer community is ‘in the resurrecting business’, because we resurrect our communities every time we stand up for justice or help each other to stand after we’ve fallen. Having seen and been awed by the way that, for example, my trans sisters have always supported one another through community protection and mutual aid, it feels clear to me that the power God gives us is at its strongest when realized through community and through the ties of love.”
