The VR film series takes us into the lives of three transgender people living in northwest US, who through activism, create more prosperous futures for the community. The importance of transgender equality in the workplace/ military, the integral role transgender people play in our communities, and the fact that trans people have always existed, are some aspects the film highlights. The groundbreaking series is the first VR series to place transgender people at center of the stories and the first VR series ever from Facebook & Oculus. The films have already premiered at SXSW and are scheduled to make their debut at Tribeca, Cannes, and more. The series was produced by Ayala’s production company Fovrth Studios in partnership with Pride Foundation and Facebook/ Oculus. How To Support Jesse: Attend upcoming screenings at Tribeca in NYC April 21–28 and SCAD Forward Fest in Atlanta April 19–20. Request to host a screening by emailing Jesse@GoFovrth.com Follow on Facebook/Instagram at @AuthenticallyUsSeries and @GoFovrth Support their partners Pride Foundation (PrideFoundation.org) Visit www.AuthenticallyUs.com for more information Jeff Tidwell Next To Me Jeff Tidwell’s company, Next For Me, is a weekly newsletter on work & finance for the 50+ generation. After making an appearance last October on 60 and Gay in Tech, the company hatched, making it a great success. Jeff is also chronocoling the creation and story of the company through a series on Forbes. “We’re lean, mean, and growing steadily by a continuous dialog with our readers.” The company exists because people are living & working longer and there is a disconnect in the workplace leaving older workers sidelined. Due to this there is a movement toward evolved roles for ‘Modern Elders’ and mentoring relationships are exchangeable & fluid. Two sided sharing and learning is important to remain relevant. That's why Jeff's relationship with StartOut's mentoring program has become a powerful learning tool. "The StartOut team has been amazingly supportive with my venture through introductions & targeted sharing of our news with a true feeling of a community that supports you.
