Trans Empowerment Project Offers Vital Resources To The Trans Community
I have spent most of my life creating innovative and transformative pathways for struggling communities to have their needs met. My career has been rooted in advancing advocacy for social justice through scale, growing power through storytelling, and engaging community to expand access to equitable and sustainable systems of support through tactics which are both fun and engaging. I love working with brands that are in every stage of their journeys.
Community Building
My love for community building is rooted in advocacy and creating deep, meaningful, connections.
From creating and building after school clubs as a teenager to building digital communities through technology like Angelfire, AOL, MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, and now Discord to reach across the global isle while blowing past the arbitrary boundaries that are separating us.
My goals around community building are to help provide more opportunities to unite diverse communities through events and actions.
Social Justice Through Scale
In order to scale up the impact of my social justice work, I lead educational programs and trainings which are centered around the most marginalized commnities, to help move our country into the equitable future we all deserve.
By creating accessible toolkits and trainings we put the power of change in the hands of those who need it the most.
Story Telling
Through training others how to control the narrative of own stories, I’ve been working to help them reclaim their power; especially during moments when they may otherwise feel powerless.
