Have you ever asked yourself: How can I make a difference in the world?
On Thursday, April 3rd, we will feature a pair of special speakers who will show you how…and, it won’t cost you time or money. Amanda and J Cascio, founders of Rainbow Legends, will share the passion they have for breaking down barriers of prejudice and discrimination toward GLBT people in the world using the oldest, most powerful method known to mankind. You’ll feel empowered—because each one of us already has within us what it takes to make a difference!
Another point of interest: J Cascio is currently making a female-to-male gender transition. J and partner Amanda of 14 years, would be happy to answer questions about their experience to help us gain a better understanding. Don’t miss this inspiring meeting and the opportunity to network with your GLBT professional peers!
