2:8 Being a ”Nuanced Mormon” (feat. Ashlie Sanders AKA ”The Nuanced Mormon”)

On today’s episode, we have the privilege of Ashlie Sanders (aka “The Nuanced Mormon”) joining us for a special “nuanced Mormon” episode. Ashlie is a mom of 3 who runs an Instagram account dedicated to being a voice for non-traditional Mormons. Beginning her account as an LGBTQ ally, during which she also officiated her brother and his now husband’s wedding, she realized a need for people of all types within the church- not just the “stereotypical” Latter-Day Saint. Her Instagram now has over 4,000 followers and is dedicated to those who may not always fit the mold. Join us as we dive into some hot topics within the church and try to create an environment that allows every person in our lives to know they are loved and cared about- member or not- and everything in between.
