CHARLOTTE, N.C. College students who happen to be members of the LGBTQ community are finding themselves cut off from safe and welcoming spaces, due to COVID-19 restrictions on campuses.
One Charlotte social worker is describing the current situation as a mental health crisis for young, LGBTQ students.
Danielle Willis, a mental health counselor and social worker at the Time Out Youth Center in Charlotte, says she’s seen an increase in depression, self harm, and general feelings of isolation. More than ever, the amount of anxiety and depression that I’ve worked with with our youth is very astronomical. I think, because, everything is right in their face, and they don’t have an outlet, and they don’t have a safe space,” Willis says in her office at the center.
Danielle Willis s collection of poetry and prose
Dogs in Lingerie came out three decades ago. The slim volume, published by Zietgest Press, still receives attention. Willis had previously published one chapbook and has since featured in HBO s
Real Sex, had porcelain fang implants, did porn and pro-dom work, was part of Jennifer Blowdryer s Smut Fest, and modeled for the late Charles Gatewood.
Willis also stripped at the now-closed Mitchell Brothers O Farrell Theatre, toured the world giving readings, and had two sold-out theater shows;
The Methedrine Dollhouse (1989) at The Exit Theater and
Breakfast in the Flesh District at Climate Theatre, directed by Cintra Wilson (1992).
