Additionally, the lecture emphasizes the importance of allyship in both the workplace and community settings.

  • ​Disarming Hate & Bigotry:  Building an Inclusive and Accepting Community.

Join me for a moving and informative multi-media lecture on hate and bigotry in our community, schools, work, and the internet. I will discuss a framework for creating change to disarm hate, bigotry & bias, and how everyone is valuable in our global world. The program will also include a conversation about the shooting at Pulse Night Club and a short film titled “2:02 A.M.” directed and edited by Greg. Let's be proactive in healing, educating, and embracing inclusion. Our history is worth sharing and your audience will remember this presentation long after it's over. Community, acceptance, and inclusion are now more important in our country than ever. Don't miss this important lecture.


  • AfterMatt: Matthew Shepard & Laramie, Wyoming. (Classroom, Lecture Hall, or Addressing Theater Students)

Twenty-five years ago, the world was shocked by the gay hate murder of Matthew Shepard. Today, Matt's legacy continues to inspire people worldwide. In my multimedia presentation, I will share my personal experience, firsthand details, and myths about that horrible hate crime that changed the lives of so many in 1998. Join me as I discuss my several visits to Laramie, filming a documentary, and the many inspirational people I have met in my journey of sharing Matt's story.
