LGBTQ

The Pronoun Project by Heartspeak provides an opportunity to increase your sensitivity about the issues related to gender and use of preferred pronouns. Listen and learn through lived experiences.

It's a chance for your organization, school community to talk about gender and pronouns. Deepen awareness through lived experiences, explore the the issues, and discover how we can support one another in mutual respect.

Workshops include screening of The Pronoun Project, experiential activities, and panel discussion where possible.

Dealing with school-life experiences, challenges (mental health, stigma, bullying, abuse, alienation, depression, suicide and loss), supports, encouragement, rights, the value of giving back and sharing stories, Gender, Pride & Resilience features a collective of local and international voices sharing lessons from the heart and poignant insights related to the lived LGBTQI experiences of children, youth, young adults, families, and allies. Taking us on a journey inside, family members, and allies call us to embrace our common humanity across our schools, homes, workplace and communities.

Gender Preferred focuses on the lived experiences of transgender children, youth, adults, and the families/allies who support them.
At the core of the documentary we meet 8-year-old Danielle,
a transgendered girl, and witness the transitions four generations are experiencing together (her brother, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother). Stories deal with mental health, transitions, rights, supports, friends, and family and insights into the gender queer and two-spirit experience.

This Heartspeak documentary features Sarah, formerly John—father and community college professor—as she approaches and lives out her life-changing decision to embrace her identity and live as a woman in the workplace at age 65! Sarah, her family, grown children, and colleagues, share teachable moments as they learn through this transgender experience at home and work.
