It's a matter of life or death for our transgender and gender-expansive youth and adults. NOW is the time to counter the nonsense.
ALLY: acknowledges the presence of inequality and gives empathy; voicing support for equal justice in theory; prioritizes inclusion, i.e., prayers, words, thoughts, participation in rallies, etc...but not truly active in the heavy lifting toward true equity,
ACCOMPLICE: reactive support where the focus is centered on dismantling "cis-tems" (systems) that oppress members of the marginalized group - but following the lead by members of that marginalized group.
CO-CONSPIRATOR: taking action with marginalized folx in ways that could compromise one's status, position, opinion and/or person for the ultimate good and right; where your fight to disrupt cistems is loud, unapologetic, sometimes brash, but necessary.
PARTNERS
"The Gender & Sexuality Development Program at CHOP has been excited to partner with nadeen on multiple trainings for local school districts around supporting transgender and gender expansive students. The passion and professionalism that she brings to each training makes learning about tough topics easy and digestible. It was truly an honor to work alongside her."

The Attic Youth Center’s mission is to create opportunities for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning (LGBTQ) youth to develop into healthy, independent, civic-minded adults within a safe and supportive community and to promote the acceptance of LGBTQ youth in society.
Many LGBTQ youth continue to experience prejudice and oppression in their daily lives, which often leaves youth feeling isolated and vulnerable. The Attic community helps provide youth with a sense of belonging, connection, and understanding.
The Attic offers a wide range of programs and services designed to provide youth with the support and skills needed to transition into independent, thriving adults. The Attic strives to have a positive impact on all aspects of youth’s lives; to facilitate growth, empowerment, and resiliency; and to help youth find their voice, which is often silenced.
"mothasistah's expertise - not just as an educator, but also as an unrepentant speaker and fierce voice for trans youth lives - is a welcomed asset to our community. The unconditional love she exhibits for her son is the same she holds for ALL of our children.
we need that. We need her."
