Say It With Your Chest: Love & Support Through Top Surgery

IN PERSON ONLY

In this workshop you will learn how to prepare and recover from the transformative experience that is top surgery, a gender affirming surgical procedure designed for trans and non-binary people to masculinize the chest. We will share useful tips, as well as, foods and herbs to guide you and/or your loved ones before/during/after this life saving procedure. Delve deeper with us on supporting yourself and other Queer and Trans people through their journeys in healing and gender discovery/transition.

Jennifer Molina & Avory Raviwong

Avory Raviwong (they/he) is a queer, first generation native New Yorker who has been residing in Brooklyn for the past 19 years. A second generation astrologer, Avory imbibes his love of poetics, astrology and divinatory magic into everything he does. With over a decade experience curating and producing raucous parties, festivals, nightlife and cultural events in NYC and beyond, they have been featured in documentaries, music videos and magazine articles for their experience in and expansive knowledge of queer history. Also an avid gardener and lover of flowers, during the warmer months you can find Avory tending to their rooftop garden in Bed-Stuy where they grow their own food, herbs and flowers which they use for homegrown floral arrangements.

Jennifer Molina (she/they) is a first-generation Queer, Dominican, born and raised in NYC. She is the founder of United in Birth LLC, a doula collective dedicated to changing the perinatal landscape for LGBTQIA+, Black, Indigenous, and Latine families in New York City. As a doula and a herbalist, they use ancient healing technologies, such as plant medicine, breathwork and visualizations to support her clients through their transitions into joyful and healthy parenthood. When not doula-ing you can find them blasting old school bachata in their living room or volunteering in a local garden.
