Millennial Stereotypes Redefined

I volunteered at an after school program to help teach English to non-English speakers that were preparing to take the US citizenship exam.

Helping an individual with getting around in her wheelchair every time she heads home.

I do my best to be out and proud and try my best to be hyper-aware of my actions and how they affect the people around me. Before transitioning I identified as a queer female and was quite invisible in society. I had to raise my voice to be heard and I had to fight to make sure that my accomplishments were not overlooked by my male counterparts. Now I identify as a white male and society sees me that way. Now I am seen, I am heard. But I remember how it felt to be invisible and remind myself everyday of the women and minorities who are still invisible in this white-male dominated world.

I volunteer with many non-profit walks every year to help raise money and awareness for their causes, just because I want to help not because I have to help.

I am an AmeriCorps VISTA alum.
