Her Circle: Queer Connections
Her Circle: Queer Connections is for queer women and nonbinary folks to share a space in which they can build meaningful connections and community. Join us as we facilitate queer joy through celebrating, supporting, and uplifting each other.
Activism, Allyship & Community Engagement
Join us this week for a conversation on what activism can look like in your everyday life. Together, we’ll explore meaningful ways to get involved and make an impact in your community.
Facilitated by Sarah Lopez & Hayley Russell
Sarah Lopez is a passionate advocate for queer women in San Antonio. After moving to the city a few years ago to embark on a career as a software engineer, Sarah sought a strong sense of community and sisterhood. This journey led her to For Her, a vibrant support group where connection thrives. Recognizing the need for solidarity among queer women, Sarah took the initiative to spearhead the annual Pride events and the ongoing Queer Connections group at For Her. With a commitment to inclusivity, Sarah aims to foster an environment where everyone feels uplifted, seen, and valued. Now, as Sarah embarks on a new path by attending law school at St. Mary’s, the goal remains the same: to empower and support the community.
As a single parent for the past six years, Hayley Russell has learned how to navigate life after leaving a decade-long abusive relationship and embracing her queer identity. During this pivotal chapter of her life, For Her’s diverse groups gave her more than just support—they offered healing, confidence, and a sense of belonging she didn’t know she could find. Now, Hayley is excited to give back by leading Queer Connections and helping others step into their own light. She is a fierce believer in the power of community, shared stories, and holding space for each other as we grow. Hayley’s hope is to offer the same care and connection that lifted her up when she needed it most.
Join Sarah and Hayley at Her Circle: Queer Connections in building a lasting sense of belonging!
