Soooooooo, this happened last night!! I was sidling up to the hotel bar to get drinks, when I saw the Delightful and Hilarious Sandra Valls, the MC for Creating Change 2023 and a fantastic standup comic, who immediately asked if she knew me! And, while this question is one I get asked a lot in queer spaces like this, I knew she knew me from an entirely different part of my life!! Sandra was a regular performer when I was the showroom manager at The Hollywood Improv, before I transitioned!!! So of course I said a very empathetic YES to the moment! We ended up hanging out at the bar for quite a while and it was so wonderful to see her!!! #transwoman #coolqueers #lesbians #butch #femme #queerfemme #butchlesbian #comedians #comedy #awesomehumans #sixtiesstyle #coolwomen #creatingchange #cc23 #creatingchangeconference #queer #lgbtq #comics (at Hilton San Francisco Union Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2p1d9PNDC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I had a fabulous time last night at The Taskforce party!! So many cool humans!!! It’s just so nice to be in person with community again! (Especially folks that I can feel reasonably certain are triple-vaxxed and being generally careful and considerate in their outside lives!) #transwoman #queerfemme #activist #adventurer #sanfrancisco #nightlife #queer #community #lgbtq #party #trans #cc23 #creatingchange #creatingchangeconference (at Rye) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co5kS2_PMOy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On the road again!!! I’m in San Francisco for Creating Change!! Right now I’m sitting in the hotel lobby surrounded by fabulous queers, trying to get some work done between excited moments of “OMGs, hiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!” As I see old friends and comrades from the community and LGBTQ activism!! #creatingchange #transwoman #queer #queerfemme #pink #activist #activism #smithsswadmissions #lgbtq #cc23 #creatingchangeconference (at Hilton San Francisco Union Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/Covy_slMhMA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm looking forward to co-leading this year's Bi+ Institute with Tania Israel PhD, Nesta Johnson, and Martin Rawlings-Fein. Helen Parshall, Bailey Merlin, and Stephen C. Getman will also be joining us and bringing their expertise into this space. We can't wait to create change.

I just absolutely loved these photos of Earl Saulter, from Gender Justice Nevada, singing with his interpreter signing at the Epic Variety Show on the last night of Creating Change!! The silhouette from the improvised blue projector spotlight was sooooo cool!! Earl’s voice was amazing too! But it’s harder to show that in an image!! #creatingchange #cc23 #creatingchangeconference #silhouette #varietyshow #queer #coollighting #lgbtq #signinterpreter #aslinterpreter #sanfrancisco (at Hilton San Francisco Union Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-3QVmvewI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I attend the Creating Change Conference every year and am always overjoyed and energized by the unparalleled experience of being together with thousands of LGBTQ advocates and activists. I speak and lead workshop sessions aimed to inspire, motivate, and support activists, advocates, organizations, movement leaders and elected officials. My sessions usually have a focus on the artistic and creative approach to advocacy, both from the organizational and individual artist approach. During my sessions, and in so many of the other experiences at Creating Change, I too find myself inspired, motivated, and supported. That is the magic of Creating Change and the work of the National LGBTQ Task Force. Since my youth, I always understood the importance of making this world a better place and helping others. I brought this element into my own work as an actor, host, and filmmaker, in addition to my efforts in advocacy. I understand how important it is for me, and for everyone, to use their voices and actions to create change for the greater good. Being at the Creating Change Conference brings me together with so many others who have that same understanding. @thetaskforce #YuvalDavid #CreatingChange #CreatingChangeConference #CreatingChange2020 #Cc20 #TaskForce #NationalLGBTQTaskForce #LGBTQ #LGBTQAdvocacy #LGBTQActivism #MotivationalSpeaker #InspirationalSpeaker #Motivate #Inspire #Advocate #Activist #CreateChange #BeTheChange #LGBTQSpeaker #lgbtqadvocate #LGBTQActivist #LGBTQActor #LGBTQFilmmaker #LGBTQDirector #ContentCreator #LGBTQContentCreator #WorkshopPresentation #SpeakersBureau #glaad #outmagazine (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7l7A9chSOq/?igshid=h2euqd3pzkue

“We are creating change and so can you!” It is my honor and privilege to lead workshops and sessions, about “Art for Social Change” and “Art and Activism,” at the Creating Change Conference. Creatively exploring my art and doing so for the greater good is an important passion in my life. Inspiring others to do the same is an exciting process that leaves me inspired, as well. @thetaskforce #TheTaskForce #NationalLGBTQTaskForce #YuvalDavid #CreatingChange #CreatingChangeConference #Cc20 #ArtForSocialChange #ArtAndActivism #ActivistArt #LGBTQArtist #LGBTQCreator #LGBTQTalent #LGBTQFilmmaker #LGBTQDirector #LGBTQActor #LGBTQContentCreator #LGBTQActivist #LGBTQAdvocate #ActivismAndAdvocacy #Advocacy #Activism #Advocate (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7cPvnxB2L7/?igshid=17v2rb3pnb2al
