(JTA) – Shevi Samet started her Instagram livestream by letting out a long, deep breath. "How are you?" she asked her co-presenter and fellow Instagrammer Shoshana Greenwald. "So, so nervous," Greenwald replied. "So nervous, so nervous," Samet echoed. "I just want to address that briefly: Shoshana and I are literally doing this with our hearts in our throats." The two women were about to begin an hourlong discussion of racism and their journeys in learning more about anti-racism education through Instagram.

Growing up Egyptian and gay, Mina Gerges didn't see anyone who looked like him reflected in the fashion world. But that hasn't stopped the Toronto-based activist from pursuing a career in modelling while proudly claiming his relatable physique – rolls, stretch marks and all. By challenging restrictive physical ideals for men, he's landed campaigns with global players like Sephora and Calvin Klein. Sharing with a 98,000-person following on Instagram, Gerges is on a mission to use his voice to inspire male body positivity. The Globe and Mail caught up with Gerges to find out how he is redefining beauty standards. At the beginning of June, you shared on Instagram that this Pride Month feels like the most significant one you've been a part of in your life. How are you feeling now? [Sighs.] Today I'm doing a lot better, but Sarah Hegazi, one of the really big activists in the queer Egyptian community, recently passed away, and I've been doing a lot of organizing w...
