Raye Dooley and Vanity Deterville share about a foundational workshop our staff and Board participated in at the end of August. And drop a little history, too. Do you know who was the first woman to produce a Broadway play? Of course, she's a le***an. :-)

Would you like to have a chill night while learning to paint with friends?

Do you feel anxious about your art and like it's blocking you from expressing yourself?

Want structure but the freedom to create what you want?

Look no further! All skill levels welcome!

Some of the biggest barriers to survivor safety are finance related. While we do our best to put cash directly into survivors hands, in tandem, we thought it would be awesome to create a body doubling/coworking space where we can support each other in sifting through all the s**t that goes into getting financial stable. And offer relevant financial resources as we find them! That’s why we host our “Get S**t Done” evenings. They will occur the 1st & 3rd Tuesday of each month and be available in person or online (must register or email for the virtual link). Find the registration link in our bio :) If you or someone you know is a money expert who wants to share their knowledge with q***r/trans survivors, please reach out!
