@grefel_nable Thanks & it looks like you’ve made some great progress in a short period of time. Look forward to seeing where you’re at in a few months, and hearing how you feel. You’ve started, that’s the hardest part done. You got this 🎉

Excited to see what will follow the Pride in the North Summit. I got to present on what outer metro areas might learn about LGBTIQA+ change from regional, rural & remote communities
