Virtual Drag Story Time Event
Youth MOVE National celebrated Pride Month with all 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and families by hosting a virtual Drag Story Time! We know that programming like Drag Story Times are currently being banned in certain communities around the country. We hope that with this Pay What You Can registration, proceeds can go directly to our Chapters that want to put on events like this in their own communities! This special event was held on June 25th 2025, with fabulous drag artists reading pre-selected children’s books on topics like inclusive families, gender identity and being true to who you are!
Our presenters read from selections from past Lambda Literary LGBTQ+ Children’s Books awardees!

Arc Telos “Tay” Saint Amour (they/them) is a neurodivergent, queer and trans, Two-Spirit, gender non-conforming person of Mexican Indigenous descent (Coahuiltecan), and a victim/survivor of childhood trauma who believes in youth agency and autonomy. They are formerly gang-involved, justice system impacted, and consider themselves to be a harm reductionist and a person who uses drugs as part of their substance use recovery journey. This lived and living experience has led them to a deep belief in Native Indigenous animism, radical empathy, and the power of holistic affirmation and self-agency. Professionally, Arc Telos spent over ten years as a national business developer, opening new businesses all over the US. Following this, Arc Telos spent another ten years active in the non-profit field, leading organizations through-out Chicago, New York, Vermont, California, and Michigan centering Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) practices and using trauma-informed and intersectionality based frameworks. Telos is of course more than just their career and identities. They are deeply passionate about all genres of music, documentaries, hiking and other outdoor adventures (in which they are infamous for achieving minor injuries and the loss of shoes), absolutely refusing to be anyone other than Princess Peach in Mario Kart or Mario Party, and consider themselves to be within the top 100 of all time high context ramblers that has an opinion on just about anything and everything.
