What’s in a Name?: Legal Names and the LGBTQIA+ Experience with Rosalynne Montoya

Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Mon, 10/04/2021 - 18:00 to 20:00

The “What’s in a Name?” series aims to open a doorway to explore issues that affect us every day, and that, ultimately, reverberate through the most intimate aspects of who we are. While we will explore basic tools and name etiquette, with the kindness and respect we all deserve, we intend to reflect about what our names say about us, and how they may be used to define who we are.
