5 things / new book
I'm halfway through writing a new book whose working title is Un-Assuming Assumptions. It's about the blurred lines which occur at work because the boundaries of gender have changed. The book focuses on transgender and non-binary concerns as well as #MeToo and unconscious bias. I am looking for more stories to include in the book, so if any of this resonates with you, please respond and let's talk!
Here are some of the latest LGBTQ weddings, events, and travel headlines:
India overturned a colonial-era law which made homosexuality illegal. This is HUGE news for the world's second largest country. I've had clients honeymoon there, and know this very exciting news will make LGBTQ couples feel much safer traveling there.
I wrote a guest article for Meetings & Conventions Magazine on 5 Best Practices for Creating LGBTQ-Inclusive Meetings and Events. You can read the article here.
In the cutest wedding I've ever seen, two grooms dressed up as Woody and Buzz Lightyear and asked their guests to dress as other Disney characters. You've got to see this one!
Finally, a few weeks ago, I was honored as a Notable LGBT Executive by Crain's Chicago Business Journal. I'm delighted to be among an impressive list of folks who are taking leadership towards equity and equality in the Chicago community and beyond.
