California Families in Focus

While not an LGBTQ+ organization, per se, California Families in Focus has been an all-inclusive organization that embraces all members of our community.

Representation matters to CFF, we made a conscious decision not only to be an ally but to include our transgender community in our leadership team and we have had 3 transgender members serve on our board of directors – Aaliyah Daniels, Roman Roseborough, and Alexa Castanon and 4 trans youth and adults serve on our associate committee- Amber Va, Evan Saavedra, Andres Anahata and Thadeo Kimble.

We also asked 2 trans members of our community to take the lead along with our own Andres Anahata and Cal Bigari from Salon Benders and Mallery Robinson from the LGBTQ+ Center of Long Beach join as co-chairs of Long Beach Trans Pride, our planning committee is comprised of members of our trans community and allies from Long Beach, Orange County, Los Angeles, West Hollywood and San Diego. This is what I call Strength in Unity
