Many hurdles had (and still) are part of the day to day of the LGBTQ+ plus community, but resilience and fortitude make this community a strong one. . One of the leaders non-profit organizations in Arizona that creates opportunities for our LGBTQ+ youth and their allies is One-N-Ten, so it is natural to have the Executive Director tell us, where are know and where are we going? and many other exciting information about the future of our LGBTQ+ community . Nate Rhoton serves as the Executive Director for one-n-ten, an LGBTQ non-profit delivering youth services in Arizona. Joining the team in fall of 2015, he served as the Director of Development followed by Director of Finance & Operations, before assuming his current role in January of 2018. .

THE PHOENIX... We will make sure we rebuild this place post COVID-19, but first... let’s find a vaccine and a plan to re-build. A process that must include economics, but also an emotional social wounds healing strategy. It is very sad to see a nation tearing itself a part! - hopefully the leader after November 3rd will understand that potion of the equation. . #coronavirus #oscartalksoscartalk #whatwouldoscardo #oscardelassalas Photography; Juan loza for @lozaphotography Location; @renhotelphx Fashion; @suitsupply Eyewear; @moscotnyc available at @framedewe #coronavirus #virus #covid19 #usa #life #vote (at Downtown Phoenix) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGTy5w6HsXE/?igshid=1rvx223pjru6e
