Scheduled Events

For years I've been busy speaking to groups to share my story with the transgender community. I hope my journey has helped others who are transitioning to their true self. I'm much happier with myself as I share my journey and I express my love and compassion to those looking for their true self.

Make an appointment with me to speak to your group or organization, or for photo shoots and one-on-one interviews.

View my calendar to find scheduled speaking events and interviews that may be helpful in coping with your journey. You may also click on the calendar day to schedule an appointment for participation in your event.

              Event Details:
              Recently the National Center for Transgender Equality released its new survey of transgender adults in the U.S., which painted some bleak statistics about the community. However, these statistics do not reflect the lived reality of much of the community. Many of them, sometimes despite great personal hardship, and sometimes with the support of friends, allies, and organizations, have done great things with their professional careers. They represent everything almost any parent would hope their children grow into. When building a list of transgender people with great careers, there were five basic criterion: 1.They are American. 2.They are currently living. 3.They've had successful careers after transition. 4.Their careers should have little to nothing to do with being transgender (i.e, trans people can be something other than professional advocates). 5.They are publicly out as transgender.

              Living Gender features transgender and gender non-conforming (GNC) persons who are living their gender within their various social locations to ability, age, race, sexuality, and etc. Far too often, trans and GNC communities are silenced by a lack of honest and true media representation. Houghtaling seeks to honor the spectrums of identities that exists in the everyday lives of trans and GNC people. The photos are largely unedited to maintain the humanness of the subject. Each person photographed has a story. Each story is an everyday, extraordinary life.
