What Would Jesus Say: The Reclamation of Race, Religion, & Sexuality a presentation by Fleurette King.

There many messages about the acceptance of sexual diversity in the Christian world. And, when race and ethnicity are involved, the exploration has added challenges. Through the personal journey as a Christian Black Queer person, the speaker will share strategies of reclamation. Not only will the audience understand how each of the social identities, race, religion and sexuality were developed, but also how the intersection created a healthy, happy authentic person.

Flo has demonstrated innovation and achievement in diversity and inclusion policies, education & training since 1993.
