Our next Community of Practice will be led by the Q***r Gerontology lab on September 15th! 10:30 AM - 12 PM as per usual. If you are not already signed up to be a member you can fill out the form in our bio.

This Sexual Health Nova Scotia Community of Practice session, facilitated by Dr. Austin Oswald and Danielle Gagne, will consist of a brief overview of the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada funded research study “Q***ring Age-Friendly Nova Scotia”(Oswald, PI). Informed by the voices of q***r older adults in Nova Scotia, they will describe findings related to how q***r-ageing intimacies and sexual health intersect with the age-friendly communities framework. They will conclude the session with an interactive discussion on what action sexual health educators and providers can take to support a more just age-friendly future.

Today, we recognize Women’s Equality Day — a day to celebrate the progress women have made toward equality while also acknowledging the work that still needs to be done.

Equality means having equal opportunities, equal access to resources, a voice in decisions that affect our lives, and the freedom to live safely and independently.

While we celebrate how far we have come, we also recognize the barriers that continue to impact women and girls in our communities. Together, we can continue working toward a future where every woman and girl has the opportunity to thrive.

💜 When women have equality, communities grow stronger.💜

Dineh Hernandez’s (she/they) journey is a testament to resilience, education, and advocacy. From an early age, their passion for justice and equality guided their path, beginning with language immersion in summer camps across Arizona and an exchange program in Minneapolis that strengthened their commitment to women’s rights.

They later moved to Mexico City to study International Relations at the Universidad de las Américas, where they wrote their first thesis on Mexico’s role in UN Conferences on Women’s Rights. Their academic excellence earned them a scholarship to the Colegio de México, where they became the first scholar to document the institutional discrimination faced by Mexican le****ns.

They later received the prestigious Fulbright García Robles scholarship, bringing them to Rutgers University’s Center for Women’s Global Leadership, where they worked on international advocacy and supported survivors of gender-based violence in global forums.

Dineh’s career has spanned academia, government, and community leadership, with a strong focus on sexual diversity, inclusion, and mental health. They hold master’s degrees in sexology and human relations therapy, designing programs that promote equality and well-being.

Since moving to Halifax in 2022, they have taken on key roles at RRANS, first as a Toolkit Coordinator and now as the Community Wellness Program Manager, while also contributing to research at York University on LGBTQ+ poverty in Canada.

A passionate filmmaker, they recently completed their third short film, Aquí se rompió una taza, which explores healing through self-love. Beyond their professional achievements, their greatest joy is nurturing their daughter, Fernanda and their beloved cat, Pinta, as they build a thriving life together in Nova Scotia.

2026 marks the 36th anniversary of the coining of the term "Two Spirit" at the third Annual Intertribal Native American, First Nations, Gay and Le***an American Conference in Winnipeg on July 27, 1990.

The term Two Spirit is an English umbrella term used to reflect and restore Indigenous traditions that were forcefully suppressed by colonization, honouring the fluid and diverse nature of gender and attraction, and their connection to community and spirituality. It is used by some Indigenous People rather than, or in addition to, identifying as LGBTQI.
