This week I chat with Nikki Hayes. Nikki is a mother and ally, activist for LGBTQ+ in rural Nebraska.
After her son came out as Transgender, Nikki founded CORN - Coming Out in Rural Nebraska. A group that hopes to start conversations about LGBTQ+ and what it means in Rural Nebraska. Nikki is open about her journey, her mistakes, and her successes. She shares her bravery, her passion, and her understanding.
