              <text>Reverend Sonja Lee, Pastor of Unity Fellowship Church Charlotte, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, discusses her formative years, understanding her identity as a lesbian, the importance of her faith, and the work she's done in LGBTQ communities. She recalls her upbringing in Washington, D.C. in a tight knit community and family, and enlisting in the US Army. She discusses her time at an army base in Berlin, Germany, coming into her identity while there, and her journey through her faith in the Unity Fellowship Church. Pastor Lee also describes several milestones, such as the opening of a faith and worship place that welcomed the African American LGBTQ community, and helping to coordinate the first Black Gay Pride in Charlotte.</text>
