Upcoming Events - join me!

September/October is a huge time for LGBT community events. I will be attending, hosting and receiving awards at many of them. I hope you will consider joining me for some of them! I have been working hard as a part of the PFLAG NYC Dinner Committee to surpass our success of last year's dinner. And most honorably, I am the Douglas W. Jones Leadership Award Recipient at the Empire State Pride Agenda dinner!

Of course all of these dinners and events are held during busy times for all of us.  If you are unable to attend any, I encourage you to chose one to donate to.  They are all unique and have different yet overarching missions of equality for all people and making today safe for youth. I'm honored to be invited and working with so many of these incredible organizations.
