Join us for a powerful conversation with Juan Reynoso as we explore what it means to navigate faith, identity and belonging at the intersections of queerness and spirituality.

Juan Angel Reynoso (nemuuly, bear) is shlaa (Two-Spirit) Ipai-Kumeyaay from the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians. A Two-Spirit storyteller, educator and community builder, Juan centers the voices and experiences of Indigenous and Queer communities across time—past, present and future.

As Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of The Queer Sol Collective, Juan works to cultivate belonging, healing and connection within 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. This conversation invites us to reflect on how we find, create and redefine “home” within ourselves, our communities, and our faith traditions.

Co-sponsored by  LGBTQ+ & Allies Commons, Associated Student Government, University Ministries and the Department of Theology and Religious Studies.  Dinner provided with RSVP.
