A seasoned public health consultant and cultural competency trainer, Wilkinson provides practical tools and resources to lend a hand community health organizations, educational institutions, and businesses create LGBTQ- and trans-affirming systems. Innovative, moving, and accessible, this multifaceted memoir explores the liberation of finding one’s voice in a world that prescribes silence, and offers a fresh have a look at how one can systemically affirm diversity all over society.
