JUNE 22ND – JOIN US!
Mark your calendars for the series premier on June 22nd and RSVP for your ticket today. We can’t wait to share this experience with you!
We are incredibly proud to have reached a point where we can showcase BEAM+ STORIES Season 2 both in person and online—creating space for connection, reflection, and growth.
The topics we’ll be addressing are not only timely but are often silenced due to societal stigma, social and professional pressure. Whether you’re joining us in person or virtually, we ask that you come ready to learn, listen, and engage with the uncomfortable while showing respect for those who have shared their stories and those in the community.
This event is free. If attending in person, please wear a mask (KN95 or better) and spend time in community.
BEAM+ has zero tolerance for any form of hate, including but not limited to racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, and ableism. Any violation of this will result in removal from the premises or, for virtual attendees, being blocked from participation. Comments will be monitored to ensure a safe and respectful space for all.
With love,
BEAM+LEADERSHIP
