Keira Dibrell - YOUTH & KIDS GROUPS FACILITATOR (SHE/HER/THEY/THEM PRONOUNS)

Hello! My name is Keira Dibrell. I am non-binary and my pronouns are she/her/they/them. I just finished my 8th year of teaching. My wife and I have been married for about a year and a half. We have two little dogs named Mona and Midnight. I am excited to be embarking on this new journey in joining Fiesta Youth and being with kids outside of the classroom. I came out about 24 years ago and I remember how scary it was. It feels amazing to now be part of an organization that helps our community, especially kids feel safe, seen, and heard. So excited to work with the community to make this world better for our LGBTQIA youth.
