Throwing Light is a unique talk/meetup that highlights issues we normally shy away from in the LGBTQIA+ community. Transphobia, HIV shaming, fem shaming, drug use, racism and so many more issues that hurt us will be addressed over the course of Throwing Light. We also will discuss ways to face these issues to improve the mental health in our community through leadership, education, music, drag, and other art. Each talk/meetup is an open discussion of ways to help our community come closer together and understand our challenges. We ask the LGBTQIA+ community to look inward to make the changes we need that will give us the freedom and respect to live our lives. Nothing is off the table. If there is any community issue you want to face, bring it to Throwing Light! Throwing Light is hosted by Louis Toliver Jr. Austin Eagle 2024) in support of ASHwell on his Instagram Live every Sunday at 6:30pm, except 2nd Sunday. LTJ’s Instagram is: LTJishere.

Every 2nd Sunday, ASHwell Sexual Health + Wellness and LTJ host a Throwing Light virtual meetup with a specific topic and guest via Zoom every 2nd Sunday at 6:30pm. Zoom ID: 988 325 5023

Having access to local resources in our community is so import. ASHwell empowers central Texans by providing sexual health and wellness services that serve the body, mind and spirit.

It is so important for community titleholders to elevate those without a title to make our community more cohesive. To truly unify and empower ourselves, we must all work together and put our best people on the front lines. Many of our best people don’t have titles.

The amount of people doing necessary work to keep the leather community unified and hopeful without a title is far vast than the amount of people with titles. What we have learned is that not everyone who has a title has it for the right reasons, where there are people who have never had a title who are the strongest in fighting for unity and visibility.

Join Tom Keller, Miguel Torres, and LTJ Reads as they bring you “Throwing Light Together – No Title Needed” at Austin Kink Weekend! Even though they have had titles, they want to help give people a pathway to success in the leather community rather it be locally or internationally.

They have partnered with 4 active community members without a title who are coming to AKW to join us in this unique panel focused on bringing the whole community together. They are Koneko, Tank, David Elsea, and Chico Onyx.

This panel is for everyone! We are encouraging titleholders to attend this panel to help uplift our community, bring unity, and recognize those that fight hard for the leather community without a title.

See you soon!
