Thank you for coming to play!

Thank you so much for attending my session, "From Pom-Poms to Protest: The Science of Transforming Shame into Radical Joy," at the Beyond Gender Conference. It was an honor to share space with you. Shame thrives in silence, so the goal of this page is to give you the tools to stay loud, connected, and joyful

Here is the complete "Joyful Protest Playbook" worksheet from our session. Feel free to download it, print it, and share it with your friends, your local PFLAG or trans-friendly non-profit’s chapter.

This workshop was born from an 18-minute talk I gave at Nerd Nite St. Pete. If you'd like to re-watch or share the core story of my journey from the church dugout to the kickball field, you can find the full presentation right here.
