Empowering Coversations

This April, Rainbow Homestead stepped into a new chapter—our first LGBTQ+ community event—and it was more than just a panel. It was a moment of being seen.

🌈 April 15th: LGBTQ+ Discussion Panel at Delta College

Our founder, Raevyn, joined a panel of local LGBTQ+ leaders to discuss visibility, advocacy, and the power of community care. As the only student panelist, Raevyn brought a deeply personal perspective rooted in lived experience and grassroots organizing.

“It felt like we were finally stepping into the wider circle—being recognized not just as individuals, but as a growing initiative with something to offer.”
— Raevyn

What followed was even more powerful:

• One-on-one conversations with directors of local organizations

• New invitations to collaborate and share space

• A sense of belonging in the broader LGBTQ+ ecosystem

This wasn’t just a panel—it was a turning point.

🌱 Why This Moment Matters

For Rainbow Homestead, this event marked our first public step into LGBTQ+ community spaces. It affirmed that our work is needed, our voices are valued, and our presence matters.

We’re especially grateful for the connections made that day—each one a seed for future collaboration, mutual support, and shared vision.

💬 Looking Ahead

We’re excited to nurture these new relationships and continue showing up in spaces where community care and queer joy are centered. This is just the beginning.
