Queer, Dyke, and Other Words I'm Too Scared to Say
In this mini-presentation, DEI consultant Elena Joy Thurston will empower audience members with the context and history behind a lot of our colloquial terms that feel sticky, how to understand when to use certain words and when to refrain, as well as changes that are on the horizon. This will be taught through a lens of Elena Joy's experience as she came out at age 38 after being "straight", married, and Mormon.
Elena Joy Thurston is an inspirational LGBTQ+ speaker, trainer, and founder of the nonprofit Pride and Joy Foundation. A Mormon mom of four who lost her marriage, her church, and her community when she came out as a lesbian, Elena’s viral TEDx talk on surviving conversion therapy has been viewed 45,000+ times and landed her media and speaking opportunities with ABC, CBS, Logitech, Michael’s, and more. Elena Joy recently launched Pride and Joy Publishing, the only publisher of solely LGBTQ+ empowerment and business books.
