I grew up in a small town on the Prairies, at a time when being gay was not okay. I was in a closet, but found a powerful outlet for my feelings when I discovered the theatre. It was a safe space to express my desperation, rage and confusion. 

​​

When I was acting, it felt like the one time I wasn't pretending. I could truly be myself. My favourite role was always the narrator. Just being myself, in front of others, felt so liberating! So I put acting to one side, and became a storyteller. 

​​

Years later, ​when I created The Really Gay History Tour, I discovered something I didn't know I was missing. The powerful sense of belonging that comes from knowing your heritage. The sense of completion that comes from knowing that you have a place in the story. 

 

Since then, I have led hundreds of tours for thousands of guests, sharing this empowering history with them. 

​

The impact of my walking tour has inspired me to share these powerful stories with ​larger audiences - at conferences, organizations, corporations, and community events.

​

I am passionate about sharing 2SLGBTQ+ history. These are powerful, meaningful stories. We have been robbed of our heritage - our sense of belonging in history. I am here to help us reclaim it.
