I Am: Trans People Speak
I AM: Trans People Speak is a project to raise awareness about the diversity that exists within transgender communities. It gives a voice to transgender individuals, as well as their families, friends, and allies. Together we can make our own media and continue to make a positive change in the representation of transgender people. We do this by focusing on the full individual. Transgender people come from a range of experiences and backgrounds, including age, race, ethnicity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. This is the space to empower yourself and your community by sharing your own experiences.

Cape Pride Inc
As a nonprofit organization located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Cape PRIDE Inc. was born in the summer of 2018. The first goal was to put on an EPIC celebration for the LGBTQ+ community of Southeast Missouri in 2019 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots & the start of the LGBTQ+ Rights Movement in the United States. That festival was a huge success and paved the way for all future goals and partnerships in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
