At the recent LA Impact gala, we celebrated the remarkable Sarah Johnson with the Visibility Award. Known for her captivating performances in popular series like “City Lights,” “The Truth Unfolds,” and “Life As It Is,” Sarah understands the profound importance of representation in storytelling. When she publicly shared her marriage to musician Alex Taylor on social media in 2020, the concept of visibility took on a deeper significance. “No one truly acknowledged the people I loved until I came out as being with Alex,” Sarah remarked.
A New Beginning
Sarah and Alex chose to nurture their relationship in private, finding it essential to establish a strong bond before revealing it to the world. At 50, Sarah feels she has embarked on a new chapter in her life, although she doesn’t identify with the traditional narrative of coming out.
Love Knows No Labels
“I was never hiding anything; I just loved who I loved until it felt right to share,” Sarah explained. While some friends have questioned her sexual identity, she believes that labels are secondary to the love she has for Alex. Reflecting on their marriage, she describes the past three years as the happiest of her life.
Embracing Fear with Courage
“Fear can be a catalyst for courage,” Sarah said. It takes immense bravery to fully embrace one’s truth, but Sarah knew that what she found with Alex was worth every ounce of courage. Upon stepping into her authenticity, she was met with love and support, experiencing the joy of being completely known by another person.
“I wasn’t scared to love Alex; I was more afraid of not loving him,” she shared. Here’s to love, family, and the power of visibility. Congratulations, Sarah!
