Pulse Shooting Survivor, Author and Activist Brandon J. Wolf is in Our House

Pulse Shooting Survivor, Author and Activist Brandon J. Wolf is in Our House

Our friend, and author, Brandon Wolf is with us today! We will be talking about his new book A Place for Us. On one June night several years ago, life changed for Brandon. He crouched in a bathroom while a gunman opened fire at Orlando’s Pulse Nightclub, killing his best friends, Drew Leinonen & Juan Guerrero, and 47 others. Touching on the horrific night at Pulse Nightclub, his memoir tells of his transformative journey from young outsider to galvanizing activist. Marshaling the compassion and strength of a community, Brandon explores how to get through the darkest times with healing, hope, and resistance. “With our backs against the wall,” he writes, “we find a way out together.” Brandon is a nationally-recognized gun safety and LGBTQ civil rights advocate and dynamic public speaker. He currently serves as the Press Secretary for Equality Florida, the state’s LGBTQ civil rights organization. Rather than be swallowed by the anger and fear of tragedy, Brandon has set out to honor the victims’ legacies with action. Besides telling his story to inspire justice, awareness and change, Brandon co-founded The Dru Project, a nonprofit organization that works to empower youth and provide future leaders in the LGBTQ community funding for higher education. With co-host Brody Levesque
