Why Joshua Rush’s ‘News in a Rush’ Series Is Important

You may recognize Joshua Rush from Disney Channel’s ‘Andi Mack.”

The 16-year old has already made network history, becoming the first openly gay character to appear on a Disney show. Much like his character, Joshua Rush’s real life passion is informing people about issues that matter.

Earlier this year, Rush launched a weekly segment, “News in a Rush”, on Instagram.
