Love is Love – Self-Advocacy and Identity Creative Workshop

This special one-day workshop celebrates Valentine’s Day and Pride by inviting participants to create outfits and accessories that express their identity, values, and personal messages of love.

Led by designer Gary Bigeni participants will explore fashion and craft as self-advocacy, combining sewing, embellishment, badge-making, and beaded bracelet design. These varied creative options support different sensory and communication styles, ensuring everyone can participate in ways that feel authentic and empowering.

The workshop is free, inclusive, and designed for neurodivergent LGBTQIA+SB young people to connect, create, and celebrate in a safe and affirming space.
