When she was hired to direct music at a church in Arizona, Brennet was living and presenting as male. Shortly after, she came out as transgender and started a public transition to female. While over time her own church community supported her, she was eventually fired by the main funding arm of the church. Her ability to relate her story with humor, compassion, and depth captivates audiences and leaves them with a collective sense of their own place in humanity, no matter who they are or what they choose. In the words of one of her most uplifting songs, attendees will walk away singing "We Belong." </span></p><p class="m_3910479571333277253m_7580119558835910578MsoBodyText" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"> </span></p><p class="m_3910479571333277253m_7580119558835910578MsoBodyText" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">The presentation is funded, in part, by the Higher Education Resource Assessment (HERA) and sponsored by the Social Justice Committee’s Building Inclusive Communities awareness series.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Amazone BT";color:#002060">Debbie Richards</span><span style="color:#002060"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#002060"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif;color:#002060">Debra L.
