Shirley has volunteered for Rainbow since we began in 1996. She has occupied many roles during her 20 years. Shirley has lived in Contra Costa County for most of her life, and worked at Safeway for 33 years. She was first inspired to volunteer with the LGBTQ community when she witnessed the trauma and discrimination that accompanied the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. Shirley has worked as a special event volunteer, a front desk receptionist, and a member of the board of directors. Earlier in her years as a volunteer, Shirley was instrumental in her support of the senior program at Rainbow, where she helped to organize monthly lunches and tea events. One of her proudest moments was in 2007 RCC hosted an honors night for her and crowned her "Honorary Homosexual." Shirley has been a loyal, supportive, and loving ally for many years. This year, Shirley took a break from retirement to donate one of her delicious and beautiful cakes for our auction!

We make re purposed gifts- Felted purses, stone oil candles and other items we feel people might like. 

The artisans:

Chris Briggs -- I'm just a guy who likes to be creative and make things.  My time in the garage working on my projects helps to keep peace in the house. 

Kristen Briggs -- I am a recreational therapist by trade but in my spare time love to craft and love it when I can repurpose old things and make them into something new again. Plus the couple who creates/crafts together but in separate rooms stays together.  .

My name is DeShauna. In 2010,  I decided to challenge my mind, spirit, and body alignment by beginning my yoga practice.  This allowed my connection with clients to become more than just a mentorship, but a partnership in their goals. Through self-discoveries in yoga and coaching, I resolved to deepen the mind/ body connection and received my yoga certification in 2015. I’ve learned that mastering the “self” is a lifelong path, yet the journey there is where meaningful experience happens. I offer different styles of yoga, meditation and transformational coaching to support community members with their healing journey.

After searching for a gym that would actually make me feel safe and comfortable and coming up empty handed, I said FUCK IT! And decided to open up the first queer gym in the Nation, The Queer Gym in Oakland, Ca.

And now, this #Covid-19 going on, we've decided to just lean into the situation and go 100% ONLINE ACROSS THE NATION!

So join queers across the nation in semi private, live streamed sessions not just on fitness, but nutrition and adulting classes too. We're also keeping it social with virtual happy hours and movie nights via netflix.
