In Their Own Words is a project from Youth Radio that explores non-binary identity from the inside, featuring authentic conversations between non-binary individuals about important areas of their lives. The project was led by non-binary youth reporter, Desmond Meagley, who felt that most coverage of non-binary individuals limits narratives to one-word definitions. The interactive explores four themes - coming out, presentation, love/dating, and race.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.
