Let’s Talk About Gender Diversity

This morning we are joined by two wonderful speakers from SpeakOUT Boston. Speak OUT is a community of speakers and volunteers working to create a world free of bias and prejudice by telling the truths of LGBTQ+ lives.

Through personal storytelling and open dialogue, they strive to educate, challenge stereotypes, and foster understanding about LGBTQ+ lives. 

This morning, Jamie Blair and Connelly Akstens will share some of their personal stories as transgender women. 

Then, guided by SpeakOUT’s motto, “Ask Us Anything,” we will have the opportunity to ‘ask them anything’. 

Do you have questions about gender diversity, gender identity or gender expression? Are there questions you have been hesitant to ask but which may help you in understanding the lived experiences of trans and non-binary people? 

Founded in 1972, SpeakOUT continues to empower individuals and communities by sharing diverse voices and experiences, making positive cultural change through education and engagement. Please join us!
