April 8th Meeting Features Christian Dominique

PFLAG KC Meeting Sunday, April 8 Features Christian Dominique

“My name is Christian Dominique (they/them/he/him), I am transgender, and I am the director and owner of All Is Fair in Love and Wear, designing compression wear (binders) and all-gender restrooms for the transgender and gender-nonconforming community. I help map and vet safe resources for LGBTQ youth as a leading member of the KC LGBTQ YSPC (Youth Service Providers Collective), and I also advise youth at local TGNC support group Transformations. I was recently nominated to take part in the Metzler Mentor Program–a two-year, Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce-hosted mentorship that matches six LGBT+ protégés with six LGBT+ mentors, in honor of C. Stephen Metzler. When I’m not doing work in the LGBTQ+ community, I’m working in the arts community: hosting gallery openings and events, working as a creative consultant, and keeping up with my own studio practice, among other things.”

I have had the pleasure of hearing Christian on several occasions, most recently at several Transgender Day of Visibility events. I know we will all enjoy hearing Christian’s story!
