Being a Voice of Change.
What is an Ally? Celebrating Your Workplace & Community.
When I am traveling all over the U.S.A, I ask several questions to my audience to think about. What is an ally and what can you do to support the LGBTQ+ community? What are you doing to foster a positive & healthy community that will leave a wonderful legacy? This program will inspire and motivate the entire audience on how the power one person has to make a difference in the lives of so many. I will share stories and insightful information on how all of us can be supportive allies in our workplace and community incorporating pronouns and education. The lecture will inspire the audience to want to create change personally and within their own community. This is a multi-media lecture and focuses on the many unique events from my own life and the incredible people who are making positive changes in their communities.
In this multi-media presentation, I will share with you my personal experience from the gay hate murder of Matthew Shepard and how Matt's legacy is still inspiring people all over the world. I will also share with you firsthand, details, and myths from that horrible hate crime that changed the lives of so many. I will also discuss my several visits to Laramie, WY, filming a documentary and the many wonderful folks that I have met in my journey of sharing Matt's story.
