KEYNOTE: Education For All: A Conversation with LGBTQ+ Educator, Activist & Model Lex Horwitz
Whats Working, What’s Needed
Mx. Lex Pe’er Horwitz is a queer, non-binary transgender Jewish nationally recognized and award winning LGBTQ+ Educator, Activist, Consultant, Public Speaker, and Researcher based out of Philadelphia and New York City. Lex found that many people want to support transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people but have not found a space that is comfortable and judgement-free to partake in queer education and allyship. We hope that this interview with drag queen and activist Marti Allen-Cummings is that space. Questions are welcome!
