In honor of LGTBQ+ and SOMOS’ Heritage Reading Series we present a reading by Laura Jacobs, from
New York City. Laura A. Jacobs LCSW-R (she/he/they/none), is a trans and genderqueer psychotherapist,
public speaker, author, and activist with 15+ years specializing in transgender, nonbinary, LGBTQIA+,
kink/BDSM, nonmonogamy, and sex work. Laura has authored or coauthored books, chapters, and
articles, and their upcoming book, Surviving Transphobia, was released in Fall, 2023. They served as the
first transgender Chair of the Callen Lorde Community Health Center in New York City. Laura was
presented the 2019 Standard of Excellence Award by the American Association for Sexuality Education,
Counseling, and Therapy and several others. Earlier in life, she worked as a musician, composer,
photographer, and in rather boring corporate middle management.
The reading is free but donations are welcome to support initiatives in the Taos LGBTQ+ community(i.e.:
Pride Month events).
