  • 10/7 Rainbow Center 2019 Keynote Speaker

    The Rainbow Center is proud to present our 2019 Annual Keynote Speaker: Jess Guilbeaux! Jess is an LGBTQ advocate and activist, who is recognized as the “strong, black lesbian woman” from Season 3 of Netflix’s Queer Eye. She focuses on not only LGBTQ+ issues but also issues that impact women and people of color. Her work leads mainly in non-profit work and sending messages of positivity, self-love, and mental health awareness on social media.

    This free event for students, faculty, and staff will take place in the Student Union Theatre on Monday, October 7 at 7:00pm, with doors opening at 6:30pm.

    Additionally, we will be giving away free Rainbow Center t-shirts as a part of our celebration of LGBTQIA+ History Month. Please be sure to bring your UConn ID if you would like to receive a t-shirt. We look forward to seeing you there!
