In the docu-short One Story at a Time, Celeste Lecesne candidly shares how he not only escaped the confines of homophobia but combatted it by finding the courage to share his truth with the world. In a seemingly fateful chain of events, an off-broadway solo show becomes an Academy Award-winning film that ultimately inspires The Trevor Project, the largest suicide prevention lifeline for LGBTQIA+ youth. Now, 25 years later, countless lives have been saved, and Celeste stays the course, inspiring the next generation to have the bravery to claim their truth and continue to change the world, one story at a time. “I interviewed every gay and lesbian I knew, and what I found was that everybody had come to a point where they were like, I can’t. How can you live into a world that wants you dead? So I sat down and I wrote a story. Trevor is my story.” – Celeste Lecesne (he/they)
