@kindSoul10
Am I still a Room Supporter? I thought I was not one anymore... at least, it doesn
@kindSoul10 Hi there my friend! Am I still listed as a room supporter? I wasn't sure if I was tagged in this by accident.
@lavenderpeach1107 @ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
I'm sorry, I did a mistake when creating the list. Some former room supporters might have ended up in this list.
You both are not listed as room supporters anymore. :) Thanks for the feedback!

.) Please introduce yourself for those who might not know you yet. What's your name and where are you active as room supporter?
Hi, my name is theheartproject. I am the room supporter for Healthy Living and Student and Career Support.
.) What's is your current goal related to room support?
My current goal is to make their time worthwhile at 7 cups. To offer my extended support by ensuring the rooms have a kind and compassionate atmosphere and everyone feels valued.
.) What are you going to do this week to achieve this goal?
Spread positive vibes and ensure everyone is being kind with each other in the rooms. Try my best to ensure everyone is kind and everyone is heard through my active listening skills.
.) What do you need from others to achieve your goals?
I just need everyone to be themselves and allow themselves to feel the way the feel and not be sorry for how they feel and being themselves.
.) How can you support others? What's something people can turn to you?
Giving them a listening ear. Being kind to them. Make them feel valued and love. People can turn to me whenever they need someone to rant to, someone to listen to them and someone to cheer them up.
What else would you like to share?
That you matter and you are valued!
@theheartproject that's wonderful, heart! :) Keep it up!
You've set a smart goal by picking something that helps to improve the community and it looks like you enjoy your activities too. Talking about smart goals, how can we make our smart goals even SMARTer?
.) Please introduce yourself for those who might not know you yet. What's your name and where are you active as room supporter?
Hey everyone, I am Ellis, relatively new as a Room Supporter and I am active in the LGBTQ+/MOGII community!
.) What's is your current goal related to room support?
I want to be there for my community as best as I can, providing education, a hopeful outlook and support with the everyday and not-so-everyday struggles of being queer and getting to know more wonderful people in the community!
.) What are you going to do this week to achieve this goal?
I've already participated in the discussion about LGBTQ+ media on Monday and I'll see if I can drop into another one this week. I also plan to continue regularly checking in to the room and join any ongoing conversation :)
.) What do you need from others to achieve your goals?
Not much, really. Open hearts, kind words, and the willingness to be sparkly and proud of it 🏳️🌈☺️ And if it's hard to do that now, the willingness to reach out and ask for the help of others who are walking or have walked the path too 😌
.) How can you support others? What's something people can turn to you?
I have lived experience in coming out, navigating gender identity, stepping outside the gender binary, battling dysphoria and being at peace with your own sparkliness. I have a lot to share when it comes to dismantling the assumptions and constructs of gender that our society holds up and I have collected many resources in those areas too. I always have an open ear for anyone who is questioning, struggling, or happy and proud and wants to share and I strongly believe in the strength that comes from building community and supporting and learning from each other ❤️

Hello Ellis, we are happy to have you.
Supporting your community with everyday and not-so-everyday struggles is a great goal. A hopeful outlook and education is something you're bringing into this community. That's wonderful and is an opportunity to getting to know more wonderful people of this community. :)
I understand open hearts, kind words and the willingness to be proud it is something you need to achieve your goals. That creates an uplifting environment which can lead to positivity and growth.
Life is beautiful with it's diversity, acceptance and healthy boundaries help us to embrace it and keep us safe in our personal space.
LGBTQ+ media is a great topic. Thanks for participating. Regular check-ins sounds like a plan, thank you!
Your lived experience in coming out, navigating gender identity, stepping outside the gender binary, battling dysphoria and dismantling social constructs is a great addition to this community and helps a lot making this community even stronger.
The willingness to learn from each other is fundamental in building an accepting and supporting community. I'm sure you'll live it by example.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for joining us!
