BECOMING MISTI SCHNEIDEWIND (she/her): Driven, unstoppable, stubborn. Keeps things moving forward...in a loving way...when possible.
You all know the story...person meets other person, falls in love, gets married, becomes a parent...lives happily ever after...blah, blah, blah.
You all know the story...person meets other person, falls in love, gets married, becomes a parent...lives happily ever after...blah, blah, blah.
Living the dream.
In my case, all of the above applies and I am the proud mom of two grown kiddos.
One kiddo happens to be gay.
I have always been an LGBTQ advocate, but having a kiddo in the fight changed my perspective and made me dig in even harder.
For real. All the humans. All the time.
Me and my happy gay kiddo!
