Why trans “literacy”? 
I like to think of this work in terms of literacy because it’s ultimately about comprehension, awareness, and integrating new persepctives. When learning to read, we start by understanding that letters are symbols within a larger context **talk about transness conceptually with this metaphor*

The goal of trans literacy is to gain a deeper understanding of transness on a personal and conceptual level. 

Transness is about a lot more than gender - it’s about contagious freedom and radical honesty. authenticity  it’s a way of being, it’s self-knowledge, it’s personal inquiry, it’s an experience of moving through the world  

Literacy is about expansion - making our world bigger through new knowledge 

For indiviuals, parents, partners, allies, family, and friends:

For businesses, organizations, community networks, schools, education spaces, care facilities, health centers, and other professional environments:


Are you hoping to create a more trans-friendly workplace, expand your knowledge, and find solutions to problems within your organization related to trans inclusion? Do you feel passionate about making changes but aren't sure where to start? Are you afraid of "getting it wrong" or creating more problems?

Take a deep breath, I'm here to help! With your trust and willingness, I will support your team through personalized, compassionate, and engaging sessions focused on increasing fundamental trans literacy skills, finding practical solutions to current problems, and creating lasting change within your organization.

My goal is to make this important work feel interpersonal, easier to talk about, and infused with compassion and empathy. My approach to consulting is creative, innovative, warm, and accessible.
