We were heartbroken to hear about the passing of businesswoman and LGBTQIA2S+ activist Jewel Thais- Williams this week. We were fortunate enough to interview Jewel in 2017 and we cherish the time spent with her and the wisdom she imparted. As the original owner of Catch One, she created an iconic space that will live on in the history of Los Angeles and continues to spread queer joy, one of our favorite forms of resistance. We share this story from Jewel, so that we can all rejoice in her memory.
