I love facilitating this talk because it allows us to connect with q***r joy through celebrating our actually really fascinating and fun culture. Nothing better than sharing that q***r joy with those who support, love, and tirelessly advocate for us. And, importantly, gives us some time to spend with the more cheerful parts of being q***r to counterbalance a world that contains a lot of ‘hard’ right now.

All that to say: I am pleased to announce my next training opportunity: “Pride: Why? An Exploration of LGBTQ+ History, Language, and Culture” to be held on Friday, June 21, 2024 from 12:00-2:00 pm CST. No cost to attend; $30 for 2 CEs (IL Social Workers).

I am so beyond excited to announce a brief conference that will hold space to explore various cultural influences that impact the way that we q***rs relate with ourselves...and others. We will examine cultural values (capitalism and wh!te supremacy, namely) that create the attachment templates from which we operate. Then, we get to chat a whole lot about how those templates manifest in relational behaviors, anxiety/depression, and opportunities to heal.
