Part of celebrating Pride is remembering the progress that’s been made. Harper Watters, River Gallo, Eva Reign, Jared Egusa, and Caleb Boyles—Youth To The People's With Pride campaign collaborators—shared their collective memories from President Barack Obama’s 2015 State of the Union.

Harper Watters is an accomplished dancer, a soloist who dances with the Houston Ballet. His audience, however, isn’t limited to Texas—he’s also known for the viral videos in which he appears on a treadmill in pink platform heels, the first of which garnered over a million views. His YouTube series The Pre Show gives a glimpse into the lives of professional dancers. This year, Watters collaborated with YTTP to celebrate Pride. Get to know him here.
