Hey Friend,

The It Gets Better Project is proud and honored to introduce you to the newest member of our Board of Directors — Moe Ari Brown, LMFT (they/he).

Moe Ari is a leading mental health expert in Gender Identity. They have worked as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families and founded Transcendent Therapy & Consulting, LLC, a practice that offers gender-affirming and celebratory care to the LGBTQ+ community.  

Moe Ari is also a public speaker, educating others on allyship for the Trans community. His academic work, "Transcending the Binary: A Narrative Therapy Approach to Helping Black Trans Men," is included in Black Couples Therapy: Clinical Theory and Practice, a textbook for couples therapy published by Cambridge University Press.

“As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I know firsthand how important hope and opportunity are to youth who may not always feel visible to their families, their communities, or their schools. For this reason, I am excited to join the It Gets Better Project Board of Directors. It Gets Better has worked tirelessly for more than a decade to uplift LGBTQIA+ youth across the globe. I am inspired by the opportunity to work toward a world, as identified in the It Gets Better Pledge, where hope (and love) outshine fear.”

You can learn more about Moe Ari through their website and by checking out his TedX Atlanta talk. For the full announcement, visit our website. 

Please join us in welcoming Moe Ari to the It Gets Better Project family.
