"Feeling like I need to out my family to save my spot at the gay parade is about as progressive as believing marriage equality was the end of the race."

Katie has toured lgbt festivals, conferences and over 400 college campuses from coast to coast, as well as being a member of a National Poetry Slam Championship team, a finalist at the Women of the World Poetry Slam, short listed for the World Nomads Travel Writing Scholarship Competition and she took second place at The Moth Grandslam storytelling contest. Katie is a loud advocate for trans rights, feminism, mental health awareness and doing your darndest to find love through it all. Never afraid of the difficult truths, her show is one part pride parade, one part therapy session, one part rally cry and a million parts healing.
