Society & Culture
This week, we are joined by Silas Leslie. Silas (they/them) serves as Hire Trans Now Coordinator, Trainer, and Data Analyst at Chicago Therapy Collective. Silas provides free training & education built around actionable & accessible best practices to small businesses (many of which are in Andersonville). As a biracial, queer, trans, and neurodivergent person, Silas is deeply committed to an intersectional approach to diversity. Having called the Andersonville area home for a decade, Silas is dedicated to helping Andersonville be accessible, diverse, and thriving.
Chicago Therapy Collective (CTC) champions city-wide accountability, tackling LGBTQ2SIA+ health disparities through education, therapy, advocacy, and the arts. Our mission, rooted in therapy's intimate awareness, addresses systemic injustices impacting LGBTQ2SIA+, especially QTBIPOC. CTC's flagship program, Hire Trans Now, fights employment discrimination by equipping Chicago businesses with resources to dismantle anti-trans biases. Through relationship-building and accountability measures, they foster welcoming, equitable spaces for trans and non-binary individuals. Join us in advancing collective health and well-being.
