offerings
As a consultant specializing in LGBTQ issues, I offer services to help individuals, schools, workplaces, and community spaces gain a deeper understanding of the LGBTQ community. My services are designed to provide practical tools and strategies for creating more welcoming and supportive environments for LGBTQ people. I believe that education is key to creating a more equitable society for LGBTQ people, and I am passionate about creating cultures where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected.
Through interactive and engaging workshops and trainings, I strive to create a supportive environment where participants can explore LGBTQ topics, ask questions without judgment, and learn to be better advocates for the LGBTQ people in their lives. My workshops cover a wide range of topics, from understanding gender and sexual orientation to creating inclusive policies and practices in the workplace. Depending on the needs of my clients, workshops can feature group discussions, question and answer sessions, and other activities that encourage participants to think critically about LGBTQ issues.
I also offer other consulting, workshop and training, and writing services to support schools, workplaces, and community spaces in creating inclusive and affirming environments for LGBTQ people.
If you’re interested in learning more about how I can help your school, workplace, or community space create a culture where everyone can thrive and feel like they belong, please get in touch with me.
