Kristian Reyes – Mummy’s Boy

Kristian shares an homage to his mother, his greatest ally as a young boy growing up in Western Sydney.

Kristian Reyes is a queer, wog, socialist who grew up south of the Gong. For paid labour, he works in the anti-violence sector and has worked across Sydney in education and youth health for the past 13 years. During this time, he has also volunteered with Twenty10, the Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service as well as most recently, with Camp Out. Outside of these hours, Kristian seems to find himself making YouTube videos with his mum, enjoying suburban Earlwood life and navigating a seemingly shy persona with strong and stubborn opinions about the world.
