Hi First name / there,

We are in the final days of 2024! Take a deep breath. And another! Doesn't that feel good? 
 
I launched Queer For Hire this year under unexpected and challenging circumstances. I was unemployed twice. Scaling a side-gig into a sustainable business for myself. I didn't feel ready.
 
Within six months, I'm thrilled to announce that my book is full! The Queer For Hire waitlist is officially activated.
 
I am turning to the New Year with big goals…and I want to be there for YOU to support yours. Join the waitlist today by scheduling your discovery consultation and save your spot. Let's chat about your needs so I can project when I can support you and your work.
 
Please note: Trainings and coaching sessions are more likely to be accepted at this time. Fractional fundraising and professional services may have a longer wait period. Reserve your spot today!
 
In the meantime, I have a library of FREE videos and documents and materials for you to get started without me. Learn more about some highlights below.

"Sincerely, Queers" Blog Feature
Navigating the Balance of Professionalism
& Mental Health as an LGBTQIA+ Person
Image item
 
Dear nonprofit leaders & professionals,
 
I recently had a conversation with my very good colleague and incredibly talented therapist and mental health professional, Renato M. Talhadas, MAC, PCC, LFMT, about the nuances of being an LGBTQIA+ professional and navigating mental health in the workplace.
 
Renato, as you know, LGBTQIA+ people are part of a very intersectional community of underserved minorities – Queer people, disabled people, people of color, people living below the poverty line, etc. – and so our community faces a lot of mental health challenges. How do you navigate being professional at work as a gay man yourself and providing the mental health care that the community needs?
 
Navigating my professional life as a gay man and a person of color (Latinx/ne) has shaped the way I approach mental health care within the LGBTQIA+ community. I’ve come to view the aspects that make me stand out—my identity as a Latino and my sexuality—not as obstacles but as strengths. These intersections provide me with a unique perspective that fosters connection and understanding with those I serve.
 
If you're a Queer professional, we'd love to have you contribute to the blog! “Sincerely, Queers” uplifts the voices of LGBTQIA+ professionals to improve employee culture and engagement.
