Nationally, I create and share tools with preschools and elementary schools to be LGBTQ and gender inclusive; provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (particularly LGBTQ and gender inclusion) consulting to organizations serving children and families; and design opportunities for parent/caregivers to raise LGBTQ and gender inclusive and anti-racist humans.
