She's also a professional artist, mom to two children, activist within the LGBTQ community, a senior consultant at The Diversity Movement and wonderful person & friend.

We’re talking with Susie about her work but we’re also talking about the struggles we all face to live an authentic life. She shares her experience of discovering her truth as well as the hurdles and joy she’s faced along the way of listening to her inner voice and becoming her truest self. Susie also gives us wonderful feedback on how to bring active allyship to the LGBTQ+ community within our homes so we can be sure we are raising our children to be inclusive and welcoming. It’s an honest, intimate conversation that we're sure you'll enjoy listening to.
