Mid-South Pride

We will be delving into the topic of changing the narrative and exploring different identities. This conversation is one that is crucially important, as it allows us to better understand and support individuals who identify outside of the traditional gender binary.

An important aspect of this conversation is recognizing the intersectionality of identities. It is important that we do not treat a person’s identity as separate, but rather understand that they are all interconnected and influence one another.

Thank you to our partners at the Haven Memphis and JennaOnFire

Free event open to all!

When: Wednesday 6pm
Where: Evergreen Theatre 1705 Poplar Ave

Happy to partner with the Haven Memphis and JennaOnFire Productions
