Life After Outing
This class is a motivational workshop focusing on how I handled being outed and forced to resign from my job because of my pursuit of artistic expression! I will also open the floor to questions students may have on how to protect themselves before, during and after being "outed". I am open to talk about all aspects of my rise to infamy and how I have survived.
