CPHHS alumnus Jeremiah Allen, BS ’15, will be honored for his work in a series of events on October 19.
Jeremiah is project director for the Pride Foundation in Seattle, leading a statewide public education campaign, TRANSform WA, celebrating the dignity, diversity and humanity of transgender and gender diverse people.
Jeremiah also leads Washington SAFE Alliance and sits on the executive committee of Washington Won’t Discriminate.
He most recently partnered with Oculus VR for Good Creators Lab as a producer and casting director to create the three-part film series Authentically Us: Stories from the transgender community.
Stop by the Women’s Building to see a screening of Authentically Us: Voices From the Transgender Community
(25 minutes total; can watch one or multiple segments)
Direct violence and discriminatory legislation against the transgender community continues to rise at a time when transgender visibility in pop culture continues to break glass ceilings. Step into the lives of three transgender people in the American northwest who are living authentically and taking action to make our communities safer and more prosperous for all.
Jeremiah will be on hand from 11:30-noon and 1:30-3:30 p.m. in the Women’s Building to discuss the film and answer questions.
A conversation with Jeremiah Allen moderated by Allison Davis-White Eyes, director of community diversity relations in the Office of Institutional Diversity.
