Born to challenge societal expectations and boundaries, Ro learnt from retired Australian Uniting Church minister and activist Dorothy McRae-McMahon that being LGTBIQA+ did not exclude you from a spiritual life.
Join Ro as they recount their journey from conversion practices to living life through the lens of love. A consistent social justice reformer and human rights champion. Along the way, finding time for long-time partner now wife, 2 step children, 1 daughter and a granddaughter.
