On Uplifting Our Communities: Creating a Pathway to Nurturance for the LGBTQIA+ Community

New insights I took away from this workshop are: learning about heteronormativity, the wheel of privilege, and how to be a better ally. Extremely well-done workshop. Well-organized, excellent helpful slides and the moderators [Tess and Don} were receptive, professional, and intelligent. Highly recommend!
