Hosted by the Rainbow Lifelong Learning Institute, join author and educator Kimm Topping for an inspiring author talk on their debut book, Generation Queer (Lee & Low Books, 2025), a nonfiction collection celebrating 30 young LGBTQIA+ leaders shaping our world through activism, art, and education. Kimm will share behind- the-scenes insights into the creation of the book, explore major themes, offer readings, and open the floor for discussion. Written as a “curiosity guide,” the book is rich with resources, history, and inspiration for readers of all backgrounds. Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review, calling it “a necessary addition to the literary canon for anyone invested in facilitating a radically empowered future.” More info: kimmtopping.com/writing
