His life changed history. His courage changed lives. Harvey Milk is a middle-aged New Yorker who, after moving to San Francisco, became a Gay Rights activist and city politician. On his third attempt, he was elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors in 1977. His election makes him the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in the United States. The following year, both he and the city's mayor, George Moscone, were shot to death by former city supervisor, Dan White, who blamed his former colleagues for denying White's attempt to rescind his
resignation from the board. Based on the inspiring true story of Harvey Milk.

Workshop

Masking can be exhausting. For many neurodivergent and queer individuals, years of hiding traits, identities, or needs can lead to burnout, anxiety, disconnection, and loss of self. 🌈🧠

This affirming virtual learning session will explore the experience of masking across ADHD, autism, and queer identities while highlighting pathways toward authenticity, self-acceptance, community, and thriving.

Participants will gain insight into how societal expectations shape masking behaviors, the emotional impact of constantly adapting to fit in, and how embracing neurodivergent and queer identities can support well-being and connection. This session is valuable for neurodivergent individuals, caregivers, professionals, educators, and allies wanting to better understand these intersecting lived experiences.
