Info: Guiding the conversation with both compassion and expertise, our facilitators bring a powerful balance of science, lived experience, and healing-centered care.

• Mack E. Crayton III, PhD is a pioneer in genetics and science literacy whose work bridges the human mind, identity, and spirituality. His thoughtful discussions on mental health, gender identity, and sexual orientation empower communities with knowledge, dignity, and deeper understanding.
