- Jennifer Lopez shared footage from new short film "Draw With Me" on Instagram this weekend.
- J.Lo explained that the film is "about a transgender youth and their journey of coming out to their family."
- The subject is particularly close to Lopez's heart as the documentary's focus, Brendon, is her "nibling," a gender-neutral term for one's niece or nephew.
Jennifer Lopez took to Instagram this weekend to introduce a new short film, Draw With Me, which hopes to shed light on the experience of a young trans person, and their coming out to their family.
Lopez introduced a clip from the film, and explained why the topic is so poignant right now. "Draw With Me is a short film about a transgender youth and their journey of coming out to their family and also engaging in their art to help them cope with the feelings they were having during this time," Lopez explained before showing the excerpt. "The film is important and timely in its story and message and can have a huge impact on those of us who watch and experience what Brendon and their family is going through in this time of acceptance and admission."
J.Lo's support for the project is especially important, with the singer calling it "a story that’s very close to my heart because it was a family affair. It’s about accepting change and challenges with love and knowing that when we do, anything’s possible. Also because, Brendon is my nibling."
