🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Super proud of our !! Jehlani is very active in the Cuyahoga county LGBTQIA+ advocacy, programming and resource space. AND the boi is an artist. This past weekend we had the pleasure of witnessing him as part of the its Reigning Men concert by the “North Coast Men’s Chorus” . They 100% rocked the house! He along with other Trans and gender non conforming choir members did a stirring rendition of “the village” by and had us 😭☺️😭☺️.

Right now, it’s so important to get involved in spaces that fill our cups in multiple ways. This choir is part advocacy and offers communal support by facilitating moments of joy for LGBTQIA+ folks and those who love and support us. I know ya’ll tired too lol 😆😭🙃. Joyous singing is a part of how we sustain and thrive. Music has always been a part of movements .

“There’s nothing wrong with you
It’s true, it’s true
There’s something wrong with the village”

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Gratitude to the staff & community at Seneca Family of Agencies for your deep engagement in the “Chosen Family, Chosen Roots: Understanding LGBTQIA+ Cultural Strengths to Support Positive Youth Outcomes” workshop. In this space our Chosen team, Dr. Isabella Restrepo & Ali Guajardo, LCSW, centered support strategies for LGBTQIA+ Youth in foster care and dynamically intertwined history and storytelling, neuroscience, community building and practical support strategies.

The group took a minute to complete our “Chosen Family Roadmap” — a tool that supports reflection on values, needs and prompts for connecting or re-connecting with Chosen family. We are excited that teachers and staff will be incorporating this into their classrooms, 1:1s and youth support group spaces to frame conversations around online safety and relationships.

We are excited for our upcoming engagements and hold gratitude to organizations continuing dialogue, education, and community building that centers inclusive practices, engagement and policy. Especially, now.

Also—the best feedback ever! If folks are willing to listen to us speak about paint drying, we must be doing something right. 😂😭
