Join No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, Kate Fagan, for a conversation about the pressures of growing up LGBTQ+ in sports. It’s hard enough coming out, but playing basketball for a nationally ranked school and trying to figure out your sexual identity in the closeted and paranoid world of big-time college sports—that’s a challenge. Listen as Kate shares her struggles as a high-performance athlete and how identity has played a role in her career at ESPN and as an award-winning author. Learn how to make the world easier for our kids to take the first step toward embracing their true selves.

Presenter: Kate Fagan – Emmy-award winning journalist and the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of What Made Maddy Run, Kate has won numerous awards, had a career at ESPN and wrote a coming-of-age memoir, The Reappearing Act, which is about coming out while playing basketball at the University of Colorado.

Moderator: Megan Vogt – A licensed professional counselor who brings a decade of experience to her private practice in Edwards, where she supports both youth and adults navigate a multitude of mental health and LGBTQ+ issues.
