Thanksgiving

The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway~
Thanksgiving comes again!

Transgender Day of Remembrance
November 20 - 7:00 PM - Sinclair CC

We are very please to announce our Keynote speaker for Transgender Day of Remembrance 2024 is singer/song-writer, dancer, model, actor and activist, Laith Ashley.

Transgender Day of Remembrance is an annual event here in Dayton to honor those transgender and non-conforming individuals who lost their lives in 2024 due to violence. All to often these individuals are estranged from their families so it is altogether fitting that we honor them and celebrate the life lived.

On November 20th at 7:00 pm at Sinclair Community College’s conference center we will read their names, and light a candle for these individuals. Additionally, Khris Goins, founder of Black Trans Men of Ohio will speak along with Judas, a 21 y.o. person, and Chrissy Ray, a trans female and of course our keynote speaker, Laith Ashley.

Laith launched his career with a campaign for Barneys New York, back in February 2014. In 2017 he was the first transgender man to be featured in a Diesel campaign, and in February 2020, became one of the faces of the Abercrombie FIERCE campaign. Laith has been on the cover of countless magazines and has had featured stories published in countless others all around the world. Laith was on the cast of reality TV series “Strut”, with executive producer by Whoopi Goldberg in 2016, and raised the heart rates of viewers in his appearances on season one of hit series, “Pose”, on FX, and Taylor Swift’s love interest in the music video for Lavender Haze.

Laith graduated Fairfield University in 2012 with a degree in Psychology. Before beginning his career in the entertainment industry, Laith was a counselor for homeless youth in New York City and spearheaded trans sensitivity training in medical facilities and homeless shelters. He now uses his platform to help inform others about the trans experience, and the experience of other marginalized groups, as well as advocating for social justice, in hopes for a more open, loving and accepting world. Tickets for this FREE event are available on our website.
