Advocacy

Join IC Impact for our first meeting of the semester! We will kick things off by getting to know each other, playing Kahoot, and discussing the topics that YOU are passionate about.

LGBTQ representation in media and the arts: why is it important? How does it impact LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ professionals? How does it impact everyone who takes in media and the arts? We'll use the springboard of the documentary Disclosure as a jumping off point. Panelists including IC alumni and the director of IC's LA Program, will share their perspectives on the industry, across media and arts genres, and across orientations and identities.

We recommend viewing the documentary Disclosure prior to this event, but it is not required in order to participate.

Join us for a 1.5 hour experiential, interactive workshop that will encourage participants to explore their own history of and beliefs about grief. Mandi Zucker Founder and President of Inner Harbor, will examine how our own beliefs effect the way we support others and learn strategies to be present to those who are in pain. There will be time for questions and answers as well.

Born To Be follows the work of Dr. Jess Ting at the groundbreaking Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery in New York City—where, for the first time ever, all transgender and gender non-conforming people have access to comprehensive quality transition-related health and surgical care.
