Pam Rocker is an atypical activist, speaker, award-winning writer, and musician. She was also chosen as a Top 40 Under 40!
LGBTQ2S+ equality, faith, and laughter are my passions.
I seek to communicate with humanity and humour, and to challenge prejudice in non-prescript ways. Exploring what diversity and inclusion really means and how it can transform our environments, is what gets me up in the morning. Asking the question “what does love look like?” at every turn keeps me curious and grounded.
Since 2010, I've personally and professionally worked for the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) people in faith communities, workplaces, corporations, organizations, and in society.
I also teach and speak on social media theory, social change, leadership, and perform music. I go beyond the tertiary buzzwords of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” and into the heart of what belonging can look and feel like.
I’d love to work with you to create experiences that truly engage and connect people of all kinds.
Let’s work together! Contact me here.
