Hosted by JULIAN BLACKWOOD
Navigating the current social climate around transgender identities can be incredibly challenging, leaving many allies and community members in the dark. This event seeks to foster conversation and understanding in a safe space, providing tools for navigating allyship to anyone who wants to better support the trans community as a whole, or even just the trans people in their lives. Regardless of your existing knowledge, this event aims to deepen your understanding and give you actionable information on how to be a better ally.
Julian Blackwood (he/him) is a fourth year student studying behavioural neuroscience & biology at Memorial University of Newfoundland & Labrador, an active volunteer, a member of his local student union, and a proud queer activist. He makes an effort to centre marginalized voices and draw people from all walks of life into the conversation, and as a trans man himself, he holds the goal of uplifting the trans community very close to his heart. He tries to centre joy, connection, and action in all of his work, and loves helping others, no matter where they are on their journey.
In his spare time, he loves being outside, engaging with art, playing D&D, and watching scary movies with his friends.
