SWOPblogger

I would like to just take another min of your time and tell you about what I have been working on. Well as some of you know my birthday was on the 27th of last month and I would like to thank the people who acknowledged that. So now with me being 17 I feel old. Not really but you know how it is. So with my new found confidence I’m ready to take on Atlanta. So as some of you remember I will be going to Atlanta on Friday of next week for GLSEN’s (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) SOCO convention. I as well as 25 other youth from around the nation will we working around issues that gay lesbians of color face everyday in our communtiys. I am excited as well as nervous. Why you ask? Well I asked myself the same question. I thought to myself that this will be the first time I will be representing swop by myself. Then I thought…… I do it everyday. I show my love and dedication for swop everyday. Even my partner tells me that when people ask me what my job is my face lights up and I can go on for hours about the work that we do everyday. I am proud of representing swop one more time in Atlanta.

On another note I would like to ask you to please come to mine and Aurea’s youth program dates. They will be on January 22nd and 24th.
Aurea’s program date will be the 22nd and her date will work around “Youth Rights”. Ther will be snacks as well as fun and games as always.

Now my date will be the 24th and my program will be based around gay and lesbian rights. I will be having Mark Davidson who is a counselor as well as a leader of the GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) at Albuquerque High School. I will also be showing the movie “The Power of Harmony”. I would like to see you all there for both dates supporting us in our work.
