Join PFLAG Tampa for this year’s Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) Vigil, as we honor the memory of our transgender family who lost their lives in acts of anti-transgender valance.
Gaslight Park - Tampa
That faith that things can get better, that we can do some good in the world, inspired me to get into public service. In fact, my mom used to say to me: "Never grow tired of doing good, Val – never tire." And so for me, growing tired was never an option. It's what pushed me to become the first in my family to graduate college. It's also what pushed me to serve 27 years in the Orlando Police Department, where eventually I became the first woman to lead the department. And it pushed me to run for Congress and represent my community.
Stay strong, Asher E
