CELEBRATE WITH PRIDE

After 7 years of being on the road - I am SO excited to get to celebrate Pride Month in Indy again.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my time on the road. BUT. I also am finding it increasingly important for me to stay connected within my LGBTQ+ community. That’s something that has been SO hard to do over the years while existing in remote spots that are tucked away in the Mormon desert or tiny mountain towns.

As an older queer, I find so much joy in helping others along on their journeys - especially if it means helping them in finding peace, joy and a sense of self far sooner than I ever did. That is a gift that I could have used many years ago.

My Empowerment Sessions have evolved over the years and, while I still 100% shoot all sorts of Empowerment Sessions for every human, my heart beats strong for my LGBTQ+ Empowerments - especially when I can help facilitate gender euphoria on some level.

So, to celebrate 2024 PRIDE I have some exciting news to share!

On June 29th, Paul’s Flower Shop & Indiana Inclusive Equine Center are hosting myself and makeup artist Julie Powers for an amazing Irvington Pride event:

From 1:00-6:00pm I will be offering FREE Micro Empowerment Sessions and from 1:00-5:00pm Julie Powers will be providing FREE simple, gender affirming makeup for a portion of these sessions.

While there will be a possibility for walk-ins, I highly encourage people to pre-book a time spot for a session.

AND DON’T FORGET TO HELP ME CELEBRATE
MY BIRTHDAY WITH PRIDE!

I have a goal of gifting up to FIVE free FULL Gender Empowerment Sessions at the end of June. To do this, I need your help. Money is an obstacle for many, especially right now. I am working towards offering a sliding scale on Empowerment Sessions in the future but until then, I am trying to creative problem solve in other ways.

For Pride Month & to celebrate my 50th Birthday, I’m asking my community to pitch in on this crowdsourcing endeavor. Even $5 helps me reach my goal - it truly takes a village! We are about 2/3 the way to being able to gift TWO sessions at this point, which is so exciting!

Are you interested in finding out how to win one of these sessions? I will be announcing on social media and my website on June 1st how you can enter to win so stay tuned! And if you’re not already - be sure to give me a follow on Instagram!

Would you like to help? PLEASE take a moment to click and read below and make any contribution you feel comfortable with. At the end of June I will be giving away as many sessions as I can raise the money for and I’d LOVE for that number to be 5!!

Don’t forget to share with others who might be interested in contributing OR entering!
