Stewart, Milo: -

Milo
Stewart gained a following on their YouTube channel around age 17
because they told stories about living as a nonbinary person, and that gained
the attention of conservative media. Taking this reaction as a sign that their
story was having an impact by challenging cisnormativity, Milo happily
reclaimed the label "Social Justice Warrior" (SJW) and pursued an interest in
social justice in their career.

They received a
degree in Peace, Justice and Conflict Studies from DePaul University and are
receiving a master's degree in Refugee and Forced Migration studies. They are
pursuing a career working with LGBT+ displaced people, and Milo has funneled
their academic interests into YouTube, where they integrate reflections on
their experiences with gender and sexuality.

They
believe in increasing access to trans and queer theory outside of academia,
sharing stories of queer experiences that LGBT+ viewers don't get to see
elsewhere in media and building community for LGBT+ people of all backgrounds.
Milo has had academic writings published in DePaul's undergraduate journal
Creating Knowledge and will be presenting a paper at the Neuchâtel Graduate
Conference 2021 on Migration and Mobility Studies.
