SPEAKING
Empathetic and engaging content for large or small groups from partners who've been there.
We believe the best way to break down barriers is to tell a story and we LOVE to tell ours. We are available as partners or individually to speak about any number of subjects and can tailor our message to your specific group. Our focus is primarily on navigating personal relationships, workplace issues, and providing support for faith communities. We believe that when these core relationships and community centers are supportive and engaged with loving transgender individuals, we all become stronger together.
