It takes courage to ask for help. It takes courage to offer authentic help. Who's on your list? Who's list are you on? Who's list have you offered to be on?

I’m thrilled to be named one of @out.com's 100 top queer people of 2025 (and to come in first in the Disrupters category!)
It is a huge honor to be recognized alongside so many brilliant and inspiring individuals who are shaping our world and advocating for greater inclusivity and diversity.
