This support and discussion group is for People of the Global Majority/ Black, Indigenous, People of Color,  Ages 18+ who identify on the spectrum of lesbian/gay /bisexual /pansexual /queer /Two Spirit / intersex /asexual /trans /nonbinary /agender /genderfluid , any combination of the above and more. The group also welcomes those who want to explore their sexuality and/or gender identity, but who may not need or want to classify themselves. All individuals are encouraged to explore their individual selves, without concern or pressure that the next step need be ‘transitioning,’ and without concern about fitting into other people's definitions. Make up your own! The Diversity Center's QTBIPOC peer support provides a supportive and interactive experience in a safe and brave space. 

This group will be facilitated by inabel Uytiepo (they/them/isu/isuna/siya) who is a Pilipinx-Chinese transdisciplanary healing arts practitioner/facilitator. They work with individuals, groups and organizations in order to enliven our full selves with power and strength in the communities we work and play in.  inabel disrupts the current narrative by sharing divergent ways of being via deep collective care, somatic forgiveness journeys and ancestral wayfinding. As a teacher/speaker, wholistic health practitioner, cross-racial solidarity co-convener and community care facilitator, inabel primarily works with QTBIPOC professionals, academics, artists and culture workers.
