Presenter Information
Joel is passionate about building positive social change in communities historically under-served and under-represented in media, politics, and other institutions of power. The best way to do this? In the power of stories: by sharing his own, while creating space for others to feel confident and safe enough to share theirs. An open exchange of ideas, shared with humility and in the true spirit of collaboration and consensus-building are the greatest assets we have at our disposal in working towards creating space for people from all walks of life to feel fully human: respected, dignified and valued. In his role at QMUNITY, Joel is a skilled facilitator with over 10 years of experience, facilitating over 80 workshops each year with service providers, health care practitioners, educators and business leaders, building their capacity to be queer and trans inclusive.
