She tells us what this summit is all about and how you can register online for this interactive online community. Have a listen and we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

About Pride and Joy Foundation

The Pride and Joy Foundation is dedicated to building self-awareness and safety in LGBTQ families and their allies. The education resources teach concepts such as Core Values, Limiting Beliefs, and Self-Awareness in an affordable and accessible way. We believe that when LGBTQ and allied individuals integrate these resources, their lives and their families become stronger and safer. Additionally, the foundation hosts an online support group. Queer parents with straight kids get to receive and give support to straight parents with queer kids, and allies get to learn how to raise the next generation of allies.

Elena Joy continues to speak to businesses and organizations regarding

· the damage that conversion therapy does to communities

· inclusion in the workplace and at home

· Life 2.0: how to love your new normal
