On this episode Caroline, and Jason meet our new friend Van Ethan Levy as they explore “Do something Conference” which takes place May 31st, identity erasure, and trust in fostering an inclusive society. Van (they) is a queer, non binary, trans, socialized as female, Egyptian, Jewish, LatinX, who is autistic and has dynamic disabilities amongst many more historically and currently excluded identities. They are dually licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. Van provides trainings on an array of topics, including but not limited to supporting trans and non binary identities, LGBQPIA2S+ folx, disability justice, neurodiversity, harm reduction, navigating death by despair and more. They are the organizer of a national provider list called No More GateKeeping which is a national list of providers who agree to engage in an assessment and write a letter in one session, an author of the interactive book Exploring My Identity(ies) (2020), produced a Documentary called Do Something: Trans & Non Binary Identities (2021), put on an international conference called Do Something: Identity(ies) (2022) (with the recordings available for purchase) and developed No More GateKeeping app that provides trauma-informed questions for the provider to use during the assessment with the clients and populates a letter. The Do Something: Identity(ies) Conference (2024) is returning on Friday, May 31st, 2024. They are also the Director of Behavioral Health at Transgender Health. “Welcome to the 2nd Do Something: Identity(ies) (DSI) conference, an international virtual conference that centers and celebrates the most erased realities in the LGBTQPIA2S+ community. The conference will take place May 31st, 2024. All presentations, panels, lectures, education sessions, and more are presented exclusively by folx who are trans/non binary and/or another non cis identity; many of the presenters also hold other historically excluded identity(ies) in terms of race, ability, and more. Additionally, everyone who is part of organizing and facilitating the conference are paid for their labor – we are focused on creating a conference that reflects the world we want to live in. Our hope for the DSI Conference is to broaden the perspective of attendees by highlighting realities that differ from their own experiences. The intention of the conference is to center trans/non binary and many more non cis identities’ realities and educate the world on affirming care. This is an opportunity for us to show up and learn how to create a safer world for all people and learn how to collaboratively heal and engage in restorative & healing justice” https://vanethanlevy.com/dsi2024/ ** “Make it real to me” written by Athena Promachus, covered by Boy Bowser The Trans Narrative was created, and produced by Caroline Penny, powered by Spotify for podcasters If you’d like to reach out, or be apart of the show contact us at “transnarrativepodcast@gmail.com” Support and donations can be made to cash app tag $gottabesomthinmore Find us Facebook, TikTok, and on Apple, Spotify, and iHeartRadio, or anywhere you listen to podcasts Thank you for your support Suicide Hotline 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) S.A.F.E.
