Join us as we welcome C.J. Janovy, esteemed author of "No Place Like Home: Lessons in Activism from LGBT Kansas," for a captivating evening featuring a screening of the documentary adaptation of her award-winning book, followed by an enlightening author talk and Q&A session.

This event is a celebration of the indomitable spirit of LGBTQIA+ activism and a testament to the power of storytelling in effecting social change.
