Thank you so SO much for a treasure of a keynote conversation! The attendees were delighted and inspired, and I myself am still reeling in the experience of having been in conversation with such powerful people. They're gonna have to put in some tough work to top this next year!

On behalf of the Pride ERG at CH Robinson, we want to express our deepest gratitude for speaking at our Pride Month Keynote address this year. Your presence and powerful words had an immense impact on all those in attendance, as well as those who watched it later. Opening up about surviving the horrific shooting at Pulse Night Club was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Your willingness to share such a personal experience touched the hearts of everyone present, leaving a lasting impression on us all. Your discussion on intersectionality and the challenges faced by individuals who identify as both queer and Black shed light on an important and often overlooked aspect of LGBTQ+ experiences. Your insights and perspective opened our eyes to the unique struggles faced by these individuals, and we are grateful for your commitment to inclusivity and representation.

Brandon was amazing; the event exceeded my expectations! We did go over a bit as everyone wanted their book signed and to chat with Brandon – understandably! Many people messaged me the day after the event to say Brandon empowered and inspired them. Love that!

More Than Surviving

In this talk, Brandon takes the audience on a journey from growing up as a queer, Black man in America to finding chosen family and belonging thousands of miles from home to narrowly escaping the tragic shooting at Pulse Nightclub. The group will explore how to do more than simply survive adversity by turning pain into purpose and acknowledging that with our backs against the wall, we only find the way out together.

Self Care: How I Learned What It Means To Survive

Audre Lorde said, “caring for myself is not self indulgence, it’s self-preservation”. Following the shooting at Pulse Nightclub, Brandon quickly learned the power and necessity, of self care.

This presentation explores the real life application of self care; the challenges of caring for one’s self in a world that prioritizes productivity; and the incalculable need for community when healing. The truth is, you don’t have to save the world to earn your place in it. This talk will empower the audience to demand the ultimate form of resistance: self care.
