Long before social media, while Ellen was rebuilding her career after her controversial coming out episode, and HBO/Cinemax was among the few advertising giants to buy space between the covers, the platform for the LGBTQ+ family community was And Baby magazine, and I was lucky enough to be its Creative Director.

 

Five years, thirty issues in total, and based out of a warehouse space on the East River in Red Hook, Brooklyn, my team and I took on the media, one issue at a time. We made no apologies; we offered no explanations, and yet, we answered all the questions.

 

Twenty years later, I couldn’t be more proud of this work, the progress we helped to make, and this community.
