Rebecca's workshops dive into a variety of topics relating to gender identity.
She speaks on inclusive communities, thoughtful uses of language, respectful behavior, support strategies for trans allies, the importance of narrative, authentic representation, and matters pertaining to public policy.

WHAT'S THE STORY
THE IMPORTANCE OF NARRATIVE
Rebecca believes stories create understanding.
We use them to learn about moments in history, to learn about each other, and of course to teach, through fables and morality tales.
That is why storytelling and narrative play such an integral role in Rebecca's educational work. Data and figures can be powerful, but story has the power to humanize. It allows people from different communities to empathize with one another, gain understanding, and transform abstract issues into something concrete and meaningful.
As an advocate for transgender rights, Rebecca knows there are few tools more powerful, and more connecting, than our stories.
Stories inspire change, spur action, and shape our futures.
