Alisha is currently attending Laney Community College and majoring in nursing. She plans to transfer to Northwestern University in Chicago. If she could change anything about growing up as a young woman, she would ask that there were more programs that she could relate to like an all girls group, and just for someone to show that they cared about what young women are going through. She is currently on the Young Adult Team and hopes to continue her work as a youth advocate.

GENDER DIALOGUE

Intersection for the Arts collaborated with Community Partner LYRIC and their Queer Educators Program by offering a multi-week workshop that explored gender-based oppression, identity and expression. LYRIC’s Queer Educators created posters with the guidance of graphic designer and community activist Derrick Miller-Handley. GENDER DIALOGUE is both a comment and affirmation of the gender experience. GENDER DIALOGUE is on display at the Plaza 16 Public Gallery located at the 16th Street BART station, beginning February 10^th.

LYRIC’s Queer Educators are a dedicated group of six talented youth-community leaders who create and innovate programs for queer youth at LYRIC and beyond. Through GENDER DIALOGUE, the Queer Educators hope to inspire a much-needed community conversation about gender-based oppression.

*LYRIC*’s mission is to build community and inspire positive social change through education enhancement, career trainings, health promotion, and leadership development with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth, their families, and allies of all races, classes, genders, and abilities. www.lyric.org
