After a couple years of canceled and hybrid events, the street festival returned Saturday in Hillcrest, to celebrate and support the talents and contributions of LGBTQ+ women.Rowan Hepps Keeney manned the Turn Out Booth. It’s an organization that helps connect volunteers, organizations and non profits that are often underfunded and understaffed.
“Employers are like 50% more likely to hire someone if they have a lot of volunteer opportunities on their resume. And that’s something a lot of LGBTQ folks often don’t have as much access to because they are afraid they might be marginalized. They’re afraid they’re not going to be gendered correctly or feel safe in that space,” said Hepps Keeney.
