Lavender Graduation of the Third TGNCI Emerging Leaders Cohort
Congratulations to the graduates of our third TGNCI Emerging Leaders program by the Center for Immigrant Protection. This program spanned 10 consecutive weeks of group and individual work, presentations from guest speakers, and a final project.
Our leaders presented final projects that showcased the diversity of their talents and interests. From conducting academic research and creating TGNCI-centering spaces in the community to building a volunteer program for a local nonprofit and publishing a book, each of our emerging leaders is building the future, a future that centers TGNCI immigrants.
🩷 Thank you to Lana Patel, our Program & Community Outreach Manager, for leading the cohort and creating a safe space of social belonging and community.
🩵 Thank you to our special guest speakers: Jupiter Peraza, Kiki Lopez AKA Mx. Kiki Krunch, Jaune Hanig, Nadia Rahman, and Dr. Elif Balin, for sharing their stories and wisdom with our cohort.
