Celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month with guest speaker Erica Allen, president of PFLAG New Hampshire and a transgender woman.

Ms. Allen’s presentation will focus on her experience transitioning as well as providing education on key terms and resources for those in the LGBTQ+ community or supporting a loved one. The presentation is geared towards all ages and attendees are encouraged to ask questions.

Throughout her life, Ms. Allen had buried her identity due to the fear of sacrificing connections with family, friends and community, and of losing power in the workplace. She became involved with PFLAG-NH in March of 2018 when she began participating in monthly support sessions.

She had started her transition a few years earlier and was encouraged to find a supportive and caring organization. She joined the PFLAG-NH State board in October of that year and currently serves as the president. She uses her life experiences to lead, educate, advocate, and give voice to those in the LGBTQ+ community who are struggling to find their own. She travels throughout the state sharing the PFLAG message and her personal story of life as a trans woman.

PFLAG was founded in 1973 and is the nation’s largest family and ally organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, their parents and families, and allies. They currently have over 400 chapters and 200,000 members and supporters across America.

Ms. Allen was born and raised in New Jersey before moving to Concord with her wife in 1997. They have two children and a grandson. She currently works as an Information Technology Manager at the State of New Hampshire. After her transition, she remains married, is welcomed by family and friends and continues to be successful in her position at the State.
