Dr. Lulu, a retired Lieutenant Colonel and Commander in the Air Force, has had quite the journey, from her time in the military to becoming an advocate for LGBTQ+ youth. After her child came out as non-binary, she made a life-changing decision to leave her career as a pediatrician and focus on preventing LGBTQ+ youth suicide.
Now, she supports parents like herself, offering guidance and understanding. Her passion for creating safe spaces and promoting self-acceptance shines through in her work. Plus, she even had an interview with Oprah about her incredible journey! Dr. Lulu’s story is a testament to her strength and her commitment to making a difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth and their families.
“It’s probably a phase.”
When I told my Nigerian father at 16 that I liked girls, his response was surprisingly calm: “Nne, it’s probably a phase.” Fast forward to parenting my own child, suspecting they were gay at 2, and worrying about how the world would react. It was a journey of self-discovery, especially when my kiddo helped start the Gender-Sexuality Alliance in high school and later introduced me to the term non-Binary at their Stanford graduation.
