​THE CONVERSATION

When another PRIDE month ends,
the movement continues.
​
In this AwareNow Talk Show episode, we'll pause to reflect on the month and reveal insights based on what we've seen and heard. We'll speak about issues from personal trans rights to public rainbow washing. We'll also get raw and real with an unfiltered conversation about private experiences and concerns as we acknowledge the fact that we're not there yet. There is much work ahead. Now is the time to plan the work and work the plan for equality and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community. 

The pre-show begins at 6pm PST with exclusive performances of music, poetry and personal statements to set the stage for the conversation that will start at 6:30pm. 

Presented by: AwareNow
