Join us for Transgender Day of Visibility on a writing journey!

Join GSA’s Queer Officer and acclaimed author Nevo Zisin for a special workshop on Transgender Day of Visibility, and is open to all LGBTQIA+ students and allies!

‘The Success of Failure’ creates a supportive space to redefine success, challenge perfectionism, and embrace mistakes as essential steps in the creative journey. Through short writing activities and optional sharing, we’ll explore vulnerability, risk-taking, and growth in a way that queers traditional ideas of achievement.

Come celebrate creativity, resilience, and self-expression—we can’t wait to see you there!

Date: 31 March, 1 – 3 pm
Venue: Gryphon Gallery

Nevo Zisin (they/them) is a storyteller, esteemed educator on transgender topics, TEDx speaker, poet, workshop facilitator in schools and workplaces, and award-winning author of Finding Nevo (2017), a memoir on gender transition and The Pronoun Lowdown (2021), a useful guidebook on all things related to pronouns. They have been in-conversation with Queer Eye’s brilliant Jonathan Van Ness, Transparent producer Zackary Drucker & world-famous spoken-word poet & activist Alok Vaid-Menon. They were a 2022 Varuna Scribe Fellow and are an ambassador for Wear It Purple.

Their work explores queerness, collective healing and liberation, mutual aid as a mycelial network of connection, reclamation of transgender divinity, finding deeply joyful ways to engage in activism and solidarity, making mistakes and creating a practice of failure. Their identity exists in the breaths between the words they use and their greatest accomplishments in life beyond anything, is their friendships.
