We Already Have Everything We Need

I believe the key to a brighter future for our LGBTQ+ community and the world, is for each of us to take action where we are to create the changes we want to see.

Our Queer experiences give us a unique perspective, insight and knowledge to create novel solutions, tell new stories and help heal ourselves and others.

Each of us can be a changemaker in our communities, families and lives... and I hope these stories can inspire to start. And if not, reach out and connect with me or any guests, and we can find support for your journey.
