Amplifying Underrepresented Voices through Publishing, with Jenn T Grace

When Jenn T Grace was giving keynotes or providing consulting work, she always led with her queer identity.  She had even branded herself as The Professional Lesbian and wrote four books around LGBTQ+ specific topics. But one day she felt like it was an albatross around her neck, and she was so much more than what she was known for.  So she took a step back and realized that she didn't have to be the one leading the charge all the time - she could have a much greater impact by helping others share their stories. Jenn T Grace is the founder and CEO of Publish Your Purpose, and the author of six books including her recent memoir, House on Fire: Finding Resilience, Hope, and Purpose in the Ashes. Diversity Beyond the Checkbox is brought to you by The Diversity Movement, hosted by Head of Content Jackie Ferguson, and is a production of Earfluence.
