And Then She Came...Part 2

Hey everyone and welcome to this episode of Let’s Talk All Things LGBTQ+ where everyone has a voice. I have re uploaded this episode as I realised I had inserted a mini audio rather than full audio. If you would like to get in touch please email me: info@anniemckinnon.org Today, I’d like to introduce you to Jillian Abby.  Jillian lives in Tampa Bay with her partner, Jen, their wildly wacky children, Sophie and Ollie, and a rescue cat named Poe. Jillian was on the show last year and I am delighted to welcome her back to hear about her newly launched book, Perfectly Queer and to find out where she is now….You can find her full bio and links in the description.   Jillian Abby has mastered reinvention throughout her life to create the most whole and satisfying journey. She left the comfort of her hometown of Buffalo, NY, to study abroad in Cochabamba, Bolivia, at age 15. As an adult, her resume includes Certified Public Accountant, Licensed Massage Therapist, craft beer bar owner, home schooling parent, black belt martial artist, and CEO of her corporate storytelling business, Storyteller Soul, LLC. Her most recent role as a newly out lesbian and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community was by far her riskiest and most rewarding change. Her memoir, Perfectly Queer, was selected as a global contest winner by Hay House Publishing and has been published in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Perfectly Queer hit #1 on Amazon’s list of New Releases for LGBTQ Biographies and Memoirs and was featured by Good Morning America on their list of “15 delightful books perfect for spring reading.”   Jillian serves on the board of the 501(c)3 organization, Tampa Homeschool Inclusive Events (TBHIvE), and is a member of Tampa’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce. She offers virtual LGBTQ+ support sessions for people in their coming out journey and those who wish to understand the LGBTQ+ better and need a space where they can ask open and honest questions. She loves to open hearts and minds through her podcast, Life and Love in the Q, her blog site QueerAbby.com, and via TikTok at @AskQueerAbby. Find Jillian Here: jillianabby | Linktree
