“WOW! I give it an 11 out of 10. The clear explanations, effective use of media, and willingness to show vulnerability in order to advocate for trans people made this one of the best presentations I have hosted in my public library career."

  • Say What?

    The words we use to describe ourselves & others matter and reveal hidden biases and cultural norms. Say What? is a linguistic journey through the language of LGBTQ+ folk.

  • Multicultural Gender

    Contemporary western society has begun grappling with the notion of multiple genders, but we're late to the party. Learn about the many cultures which have long acknowledged that gender is not a binary.

  • The Real Problem

    is misogyny. Dismantle the patriarchy and have fun while doing it! Transphobia and homophobia are misogyny with a new coat of paint. Society must deal with the underlying problem first.

  • Timeo Hominem Unius Libri

    "I fear the man of one book," is attributed to Thomas Aquinas in the 17th century. This presentation is more of a book club discussion, where the book is the bible passages used to attack queer folx..
