In his new book, All We Say, Ben Rhodes looks at some of the speeches that shaped America. They remind us of our past, the progress we’ve made, the setbacks we’ve faced, and the work that still remains. Ben has always had a deep understanding of the tensions and the promise at the heart of our American story, and this couldn’t be a more timely read.

We are proud to announce one of our 2026 QTAPI Honorees: Michelle Meow!

Michelle Meow is the host and producer of "The Michelle Meow Show.” The program’s tag line is: ‘Your A-Z, covering the LGBT, LMNOP, and everyone in between.’ Michelle’s mission is constructing opportunities for people to listen in to deep conversations and to develop understanding and empathy. Michelle’s program can be heard through the Commonwealth Club World Affairs of CA, which at times are aired on KQED.
In addition to her own program, Michelle produces multiple other programs at the iconic Commonwealth Club World Affairs, where she is a member of the Board of Governors. There she is dedicated to generating conversations around social justice with an intersectional lens.
Michelle served as a co-host of the San Francisco Pride Parade broadcast from 2006-2018 and she has also served as the President of the Pride organization’s Board of Directors from 2014-2018.
In 2020, Michelle produced Global Pride with the Commonwealth Club World Affairs, Youtube and Interpride, the first ever virtual global live event focused on the LGBTQIA+ community.
From 2022-2025, Michelle supported efforts in Asia to amplify LGBTQIA+ rights through activism and advocacy in Thailand, a country that has just passed marriage equality.
