The Le***an Game Changers Mission: We educate young adults by providing valuable resource books and films that help fill the gap in education about le***an history and foster an atmosphere of LGBTQ+ equity, visibility, and inclusion. It's a colorful, large-format, richly-designed collection of biographies, defining moments and illustrated timelines. Game Changers was awarded Best New LGBTQ Book at
the New Generation Indie Book Awards. We donated over 300 books to every public high school in the San Francisco Bay Area to use as an educational resource. (The FAIR Act is a 2011 law requiring inclusion of LGBT history and social studies in the California public school curriculum)
The Short Film Series:
Game Changers - Impacting LGBTQ Culture is a 12-part short film series created as a supplement for the book. Filmmaker Eliza Karlson of Karlson Studio has teamed up with Game Changers author Robin Lowey to produce the series. A new and diverse group of Le***an Game Changers will be featured. The LGBTQ youth of today need to know who their female heroes are, and on whose backs their new found freedom is based upon. Older le***ans can feel proud about the work we did to make these significant changes in history. Children and young adult students will need a diverse library of resource materials for the new curriculum. Game Changers will feature a diverse cross-section of women who contributed to le***an culture. Kate Kendell, Franco Stevens, Mariah Hanson, Jewelle Gomez, Page Hodel, Monica Palacios, Cheryl Dunye, Toni Armstrong, Marga Gomez, Judy Dlugacz and Terry Wolverton— just to name a few. Who’s behind it? I'm Robin Lowey, founder, curator and editor of the multi-contributor magazine Epochalips: Smart Le***an Commentary for the past 10 years. I’ve published over 650 posts from 24 regular contributors including myself, and hundreds of guest writers. I’m also a graphic designer and Creative Director with many years experience in writing, publication design and printing. As a pioneering le***an mom of two grown boys and a member of the LGBT Speakers Bureau, I feel strongly about the need for this book at this time in our history.
