Live Proud

One thing that Live Proud does it compiles a list of resources for our community so they know where to turn during crucial parts of their journey. This week we're highlighting Emergency Shelter.

If you're in or near Columbia and need emergency Shelter, True North of Columbia might be able to help. They offer shelter and counselling for both residential and non-residential people. Below you can find their contact information!

Good Afternoon!

We've reached Week Two in our Fund Dash! This week the witches have arrived to the party to make sure there's room on the broom (and at the party) for everyone! Leading the witches is Live Proud's Co-Founder and Chair of the Board - Anna Ralls-Ulrich! Let's meet them!

Anna Ralls-Ulrich (they/them) is a co-founder of Live Proud and the board Chair. They hold a Master of Studies in Creative Writing from Oxford University, where their thesis was a full-length stage play exploring the intersections of religion and their nonbinary identity. Their works have been published in Contrary and Colorado Review, and have been nominated for the Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. In addition to working full-time, they spend their spare time as a freelance editor and accuracy reader, as well as helming Live Proud’s Q***r Joy Poems Project and Ur Local Q***rs. Anna was raised fundamentalist Christian, and is now working to heal from the toxic religion in which they grew up. They are active in several advocacy and activism groups for q***r, disabled, and neurodiverse people. Anna has been married to their spouse, Jordan Ulrich, since 2017, and is a proud parent to a menagerie of pets.
