*Being the voice of change in your life
The biggest adventure that will ever unfold in your life is you finding you. This lecture
explores how embracing a diverse community, being inclusive for the LGBTQ community
and giving back unconditionally to others takes you on the road of being the voice of
change in your life. How important is embracing diversity in your community? How can
we break down the walls of fear in our life? How is giving back to others the best gift you
can give yourself? All these questions and more will be explored in this presentation.
*Hate Crimes and why people join hate groups
This speech is geared for those who long for community, acceptance and embrace
diversity. The lecture will discuss how hate crimes affect everyone, how hate is learned in
a family and how an individual will seek out to feel since of belonging to a hate group.
Hate crimes not only affect the individual, but the whole community. See how far we have
come the last ten years and what path we still need to go. There is a long road ahead!
*Filming a documentary: Matthew Shepard & Laramie, WY, Ten Years Later
On November 2, 2007, 89-Second Productions (www.89-second.com) and I teamed up for
a documentary film venture. We began filming in Denver, Colorado on November 2, 2007
and then traveled to Laramie, WY. It was an amazing shoot and so many great people
helped us out. We met and interviewed several people in Laramie that will give film
watchers a newer and moving experience about Laramie and Matthew Shepard. It was
an amazing start to this documentary journey. The film will attempt to tackle issues that
have been brought to light by Matthew's murder, such as the need for hate-crime
legislation and the general affect this tragedy has had on people's lives.
In this multi-media presentation, I will share with you my personal experience in
beginning this film venture, how Matthew's legacy is still inspiring people all over the
county, details and myths from that horrible hate crime to Matthew, hate crime legislation
and the many wonderful people that inspired us for this great documentary.
The film is projected to be released in later 2009.
| Here is a list of programs for my 2008-09 Hear Me Out!, lecture tour. I can speak on a combination of these topics for one program or I can focus on just one. I will always customize my lecture for your school! I am also available to lecture to classes while I am visiting your campus and I love doing that! I enjoy meeting with students, faculty and staff at no extra cost to your school. Please make sure when you book me, to let me know if you want me to come to your school early and meet with your students, or to stay after my presentation is over. I want you to have a successful event for your college and community. I'm available to do a lecture/power point presentation to groups interested in my film project or performing groups presenting the play, The Laramie Project. |
