Roz Keith: Stand with Trans

Growth
Roz Keith: Stand with Trans
Roz Keith, Founder and Executive Director of Stand with Trans, discusses the impact and importance of her organization’s work.

When Roz Keith’s son came out as transgender in 2013, there were few resources available to help him transition socially, emotionally, psychologically, and medically. In Roz’s search to find support for her own child, she realized she needed to fill the void of information for others. As a result, she founded Stand with Trans, a national resource for transgender youth and their parents.

Stand with Trans has such an important mission given the difficulties trans children face in school and even at home. They help trans youth gain confidence and find hope in the future, all while celebrating their identity.

Roz joins us to discuss her heartwarming story, the challenges gender diverse people face, and what we can do to protect the LGBTQ+ community.

Donate to Stand with Trans to make a difference.

Wine
RAM Cellars' Viv
From RAM Cellars in Portland, Oregon, Viv is named after the French root word meaning “to live, to be alive.” It also happens to be short for Vivianne, the name of the winery’s founder and winemaker who came “alive” as they came out as transgender in 2018. For every sale of the bottle, RAM Cellars donates $5 to organizations that support queer and transgender people.

Viv is a petit verdot with an earthy, spicy flavor. Rich yet grounded and full of life, to be sure.
