Hello everyone, and welcome to our newest members! Please introduce yourselves if you'd like, make yourselves at home, and don't hesitate to reach out to anyone on our planning committee if you have any questions.
Chris, Tiffin, and I met with Andrew Recinos, Bobbi Kay, Meredith Woolard, and Kristen Olsen this morning, and had a difficult, yet productive meeting. We spoke about our experiences with the affinity group spaces at TLCC 2022 in Denver, and about TLCC 2023 in Orlando. We have not yet shared with them the full summary from our initial meeting about a month ago (we wanted to share it with you all, and give you the opportunity to give us your feedback first). We plan to send that summary their way next week. With that in mind, we will be emailing the summary as well as our key takeaways from the meeting earlier today to everyone who attended our meeting last month soon. Please openly share any feedback you have! If you weren't able to make the meeting, but would also like to see the summary, please let us know in the comments below, and I'll make sure to include you. We will give everyone until the end of the week to send any updates or added content our way. We will also post the information in the LGBTQIA+ Affinity Group once we have had the opportunity to share it with those who were at the meeting and with the leadership at Tessitura Network.
We appreciate this community and all we do to support one another!
I thought I would end this post with a delightful video recently shared with me by Christopher Wagley, the Chief Operating Officer at KERA where I work. He is an openly gay man who used to work with Logo TV, and this is one of the episodes in a series highlighting queer stories as told by queer folk. Be forewarned, the storyteller in this video doesn't censor themselves. Tell me what you think in the comments!
The story of Stonewall featuring Varla Jean Merman. Aired as an image spot upon Logo's launch in 2005.
