In support of Kenya: Lisa’s gripping story about a journey around the world in 366 days in search of leading activists for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality

Lisa Dazols is not a preacher. But when she took the floor, you could hear a pin drop at Oakland’s Plymouth United Church of Christ, in California, on Saturday.

She was speaking as the chief guest at a fundraising gathering in support of Tusk Trust, which focuses on wildlife conservation, community and education development in Kenya. The fundraiser was organized by Kenyan born and US certified coach, Cory Nyamora. He is training runners who will be competing in Kenya in support of the project.

When Jenni and Lisa first fell in love, they vowed to follow a life of adventure. But this business manager and social worker had no idea that their promise would lead them to leave their 9-5 jobs, pick up a video camera, and travel through Asia, Africa and South America in search of the people who are leading the movement for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality.

Lisa narrated their yearlong journey through 15 countries. Even more breathtaking was the couple’s video-journal footage of their interviews of LGBT leaders highlighting their experiences in Kenya and East Africa. Visit the Out and Around Website.

We are grateful to Lisa for sacrificing her weekend break to support Tusk Trust.
