Gabby De Lucca, a Speech & Language Pathologist working in School District 52 and fabulous Ally, joins the Rainbow Nation podcast for some conversations around her job and her ambitions to help with the local GSA groups in Prince Rupert and some other tidbits she's experienced since coming to Prince Rupert. 

Our guest this week is Ronda.  She is a parent in Prince Rupert that has been kind enough to come talk to us about raising a son who is transitioning, her local support network and the one she creates for others across the country.  Quending is dishing about Ricky Martin, Alexis Stone (yassss!) , a new loonie and Kevin Hart (ugh). 

Christine's pal from back in the day (Conrad Cougars Represent!) joins us from across the border to talk about her Biology Bear (that she created in response to current situations in the United States that could easily infect around the world).  Have a look at the Biology Bear!  She also introduces us to her Lesbian Barbie™ .  

Angelo Octaviano and Kyle Hill are two registered massage therapists that have helped set up shop in Prince Rupert.  We talk about their ongoing success as part of a much needed business in Prince Rupert, relationships with family and friends and drag queens! 

Jean Baptiste is the Regional Community Network Coordinator for Trans Care B.C. in the North.  He is based out of Prince George and our first guest we connected to through Skype.  We are so happy we got to connect with Jean and listen to some of the amazing work / community he is helping to build.  

Paul is Christine's colleague in crime.   Paul joins us and talks all things math, math shirts, how he feels like a butterfly constantly and the ladder he wants to share with everyone.   

This week Christine Danroth opens up a bit about her work with the GSA's she works with.  We talk about what is Quending and Christine enjoys a Gilnetter beer from the Wheelhouse for both of us! 

Episode 2 - Blair Mirau.  Blair is a currently a Prince Rupert City Councillor and running for re-election.  We were happy to have him sit with us on a typical Prince Rupert October blustery day with some news for something new.  

We are so happy Ashley sat down with us to answer some questions and give us a glimpse into the transition to her authetic self.
