Interview with McKenna Denson, Part 1

Unveiling Truths: McKenna Denson’s Journey of Courage and Activism

In the latest episode of our live broadcast, we had the privilege of speaking with McKenna Denson, a remarkable individual who has made significant strides in shedding light on important issues within the LDS community. The conversation began with a personal connection, as McKenna reached out to discuss a mutual friend, Kristy Johnson, who bravely shared her own harrowing experiences as an active LDS girl. This set the stage for McKenna’s own revelations, which focus on bringing hidden truths to light rather than concealing them.

To kick off the interview, we engaged in a word association game, where McKenna provided her thoughts on various terms related to her experiences and beliefs, such as “Mormonism,” “justice,” and “repentance.” This exercise allowed us to delve deeper into her perspective and set the tone for a candid discussion.

The first part of our conversation centered on McKenna’s personal history, including her family background, early memories, and her journey to joining the LDS church and serving a mission. We explored her thoughts on God and life, providing a comprehensive view of her upbringing and the influences that shaped her.

After a brief intermission, we continued with McKenna’s experiences during her mission, discussing her time in the Missionary Training Center (MTC) and the challenges she faced. This led to a reflection on her life after the mission and the pivotal decision to publicly share her story after years of keeping it private.

As the conversation progressed, we moved into the more recent developments in McKenna’s life, focusing on her activism and the motivations behind her efforts to advocate for change within the community. We concluded the episode by opening the floor to audience questions, allowing for an interactive dialogue that enriched the discussion.

Throughout the broadcast, McKenna’s authenticity and courage shone through, making for a compelling and thought-provoking conversation that encourages listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and experiences.
