Best, Charlie

Best, Charlie

Oral history interview with Tacoma resident Charlie Best conducted by dindria barrow on June 30, 2023.

Thus, home is a place where you can be yourself and is a place that you choose, not just a place that is given to you. As the Education Manager of The Rainbow Center, Charlie’s role allows him to share his story of identity. After dealing with many personal struggles, living in the present is now a consistent daily goal for Charlie.
