Growing Our Power
Growing our Power invites current and promising trans BIPOC leaders in the Midwest. Join a group of 24 trans women and femmes of color in a comfortable, relaxed indoor retreat nestled in the Ozarks. Nonbinary trans folks of color and trans men of color are also invited to participate.
You’ll experience intergenerational conversations, mentorship building models, fun activities, engaging breakout sessions, and have opportunities to earn liberation merit badges.
Growing our Power is a catalyst for powerful networking and skill building in the trans BIPOC community. These experiences will serve as a foundation for future public-facing educational campaigns.
