The Shades Of Grey In-Between The Rainbow

Not everyone has a coming out story.

Some are still figuring things out. Some don’t love labels. Some know they’re not straight but don’t feel the need to make an announcement. Some have questions they’d rather explore than detect.

This Space is for the people in between.

The people who feel connected to the queer community but aren’t sure exactly where they fit. The people who are curious, questioning, unlabeled, newly out, quietly out, or simply tired of feeling like they need a better explanation.

No pressure to choose a label. No pressure to come out. No pressure to have it all figured out.

Just a conversation about identity, belonging, and the many shades of grey between the rainbow.

In this Space, we’re not ashamed. Not hiding. Not making it our whole identity.

We’re just existing. Because that’s more than enough.

Who Am I?
Claire (she/her) is a passionate advocate for refugees, immigrants, survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and queer communities. Originally from West Michigan and now living in Texas, she brings a trauma-informed lens to community building and believes deeply in the power of dignity, lived experience, and connection.

Living with chronic illness, she proudly claims her place in the “spoonie” world and values spaces where people can show up exactly as they are. She lives with her partner, their unimpressed cat, and a dog who runs the household.

She holds a B.S. in Psychology from Grand Valley State University and is here for the messy, deeply human work.

How Does it Work?
This is an open, guided discussion led by your Keeper, Claire. Each participant will have the opportunity to listen to and share experiences on well-being, emotions, and whatever else comes up during the session.

When and How Do We Meet?
We meet digitally to make participation easy for those with demanding schedules. Cameras are optional, and you’re welcome to join from wherever you are, even between shifts. We only ask that you find a private place to join or use headphones to help maintain the security of everyone present.
