No, closets have always been referenced to dark places that we need to bust out of. What if the social construct of stigma had never been created?What if we had all been born into a world of understanding and true empathy?

Our Founder/Ed’s latest musings:
Why is it that you don’t hear more people say about closets: β€œI’m coming out as a millionaire.” Or I have a closet full of Tom Ford suits in your size that I’d love to give you for free.

I had the privilege of supporting these advocates directly by facilitating the BFGP Presents Feeding Our Mental Health workshops. Based on the students' needs, I was also able to add an additional class: Strategic Career Planning, drawn from a chapter in my new book, The Compassionate Path.

The momentum continues this month as they prepare for their November 19th graduation ceremony, where five cycles of the next generation of peer advocates and leaders will receive their certificates.

Poultry Plants Consistently Violate Salmonella Standards, Report Finds Perdue, Butterball, and Costco are among the companies that break food safety rules. Industry reps say contaminated chicken is not a danger.

This is a very disturbing read. Important though to be able to make a conscious choice as a consumer. civileats.com/2025/11/03/p...
