My Story…
I'm doing the Pride Walk this year in honour of my Mom & my husband Jeff's mom, both of whom passed away last year, & for ALL PARENTS of 2SLGBTQ+ kids -- loving, supportive parents have a massive positive impact on the life of a 2SLGBTQ+ person, & role model for others what a loving, supportive home looks like. And by extension, I'm doing the Pride Walk for all my amazing fellow EDUCATORS, particularly those that work to ensure SOGI-inclusive education is part of their classroom & school environment -- hopefully filled with kids with loving supportive parents & families, but also for those kids who may not have that love & support. The presence of just ONE supportive adult -- ONE!! -- reduces the propensity towards suicide & suicidal ideation by over 40% -- imagine 2 supportive adults; or 3; or 4, 5, 6, & more...! Please join me in supporting SOGI-inclusive education -- donations to my page & ARC Foundation will help us continue helping classrooms to be safe, inclusive & welcoming!
