Lor Sabourin knows a thing or two about resilience
and the power of thoughtfully approaching a relationship - be it
with a sport or gender.
A professional rock climber who grew up in Detroit, they spent
years figuring out how to not hide their queer identity in a very
male, heteronormative, and competitive world. Lor now works to
spread the wisdom they’ve gathered by creating affirming spaces in
outdoor communities and also training other climbers on mental
stability.
They are also the subject of a recent documentary film put out by
Patagonia called They/Them.
We invited Lor to talk about their personal journey, creating
inclusive spaces, and how to simply find more Joy in the lives we
choose.
We also hear from Sand Chang, PhD (They/Them) about the relationship between our society and mental health trends in the Queer Community.
