60 Minutes, On Zoom, Wednesday, February 18: 1 pm PT / 3 pm CT / 4 pm ET
On February 18, Carolyn Jacobs, founder of Ally in Divorce, will host a virtual benefit to support Kids Managing Conflict, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that strengthens and funds peer mediation programs in K–12 schools. Carolyn will sit down with PJ Brescia (they/them), an Out100 2025 honoree and the founder of BabyGay™, a media platform and 501(c)(3) nonprofit amplifying queer voices through storytelling, advocacy, and togetherness. PJ hosts The BabyGay™ Podcast, which celebrates coming out stories, humanizes the queer experience, highlights queer history, and offers resources for living authentically. They also serve as President of the LA Queer Coalition, uniting community leaders to uplift and advance LGBTQIA+ rights, and as a Board Member of the NLGJA Los Angeles Chapter, supporting LGBTQIA+ journalists.
This conversation considers how young people navigate sharing about their sexuality and gender and how adults can support them thoughtfully when meaning, safety, and understanding are still taking shape. Drawing on PJ Brescia’s work in listening to and honoring coming-out stories, this conversation will explore the internal and external dynamics young people contend with as they decide whether, when, and how to share. We will consider how support-minded adults can listen and respond in ways that foster safety, agency, and trust.
Registration is $10 per attendee, and Ally in Divorce will donate 100% of the proceeds to Kids Managing Conflict (KMC). Carolyn Jacobs serves on KMC’s Board of Directors.
This program is for:
• Parents
• ADR Professionals
• Educators
• Mental Health Professionals
• Parenting Professionals
• Youth Program Staff
• Anyone hoping to support children in building relational skills
