About Queering Talks
From the beginning, Town Hall has been a space for meeting the needs of our city—hosting concerts, book talks, and new ways to connect. This bold new series reimagines the traditional lecture format through a queer lens, challenging ideas about who speaks, who listens, and who is centered. Built around three themes — In Between (exploring fluid identities and spaces), Out in Front (centering changemakers leading justice and equality movements), and Always Been (highlighting the historic contributions of queer visionaries)—this series promises to inspire, expand perspectives, and celebrate inclusivity. Join us in sparking meaningful conversations and building a community that values growth and connection.
Dr. Jen Self (they/them) is a queer, gender-bending justice strategist, therapist, and professional troublemaker building worlds where liberation isn’t optional.
Fernell Miller (she/her), aka “Grand-Nelly,” is a nature-loving, justice-rooted play expert, educator, and racial equity strategist who’s been building bold, liberatory spaces in schools and communities for over 40 years. Founder and CEO of The Root of Us, Fernell merges her deep love of the outdoors with a fierce commitment to dismantling systemic racism and nurturing intergenerational healing. Whether climbing trees or leading peace circles, she’s always cultivating connection, creativity, and belonging—from playgrounds to policy rooms.
Dr. Mollie Monahan (she/her) is a queer, justice-minded parent, educator, activist, coach, and the founder of Social Justice Kids. She has been cultivating brave, transformational spaces from PreK through college and beyond for nearly 30 years. Always in partnership across race and gender identity, Dr. Mollie works to stoke the revolutionary imagination, action and courage necessary to co-create a just and equitable world, with and for the KIDS we LOVE.
