CURRENT MISSION

Walking across the country to end discrimination based on gender identity/expression and sexual orientation.

ABOUT ME

Into the Light – Beginning in May 2011, I embarked upon a journey from the Pacific Northwest of the United States, walking 6,000 miles to Washington DC. I am holding numerous candle light vigils along the trek at the specific places where people have been murdered or have taken their own lives due to gender expression/identity discrimination. Providing gender expression/identity workshops and civil disobedience trainings along the way and theatrical performances inspiring people to walk into their own light and true potential, this 9-18 month journey will help bring forward more people into the effort for full social and legislative equality.

PHILOSOPHY

That each of us is equally as powerful to shape our own world.
