About the event

A Queer Cancer Warrior's Journey: Defining Identity Through the Storm
Self-proclaimed rainbow warrior Stephanie Howlett (founder of DiversityNL) discusses how mental health struggles have shaped her identity.

About this Event

From the smile and humour that masked her mental health, to facing cancer at 45 and early menopause as a queer woman. Stephanie opens up about what it means to rebuild yourself again and again.

It’s a story about truth-telling, messy middles, and learning to hold space for both grief and joy.

If you’ve ever struggled with your own mental health, worn a smile and used humor to hide the pain, or felt like you didn’t quite fit the mold, this conversation is for you.

You’re not alone in the storm and together, we can make it through.What to Expect:

  • A raw and resonant story about mental health, identity, and transformation
  • A fireside-style Q&A where you can ask questions or simply listen in
  • A community gathering focused on storytelling, connection, and stigma-free dialogue
