UPLIFT.EMPOWER.UNITE
After working as a service provider for over 20 years and having the pleasure of working with diverse populations, I have learned many valuable lessons. As a service provider, it is important to have the intent of creating positive change in the lives of those served. However, it is also essential to understand the power behind intersectionality and to provide safe and affirming service spaces for all individuals, especially those who identify as QTBIPOC. If services are inequitable for some, they fail all of us. Together, we are strong.
