Join us as we welcome Jack Geist (he/him), one of our very own PFLAG members, as he shares his lived experiences with us about being the loving father of two transgender (now adult) kids.

About our Speaker:

As a Visual Effects Producer for TV and Film projects around the world, Jack Geist has been challenged to listen and learn about new cultures in order to create a harmonious work environment. In 2018, when both of his teens came out as transgender, he was challenged to use these skills to more fully embrace LGBTQ+ culture within his own family. Today, Jack continues this process of listening and learning by attending PFLAG meetings, attending workshops, and of course being schooled by his now adult children. Jack will talk about his personal journey as a parent of trans children and how he has continued being a loving parent..

From the Bathroom to the Boardroom: Challenges marginalized individuals face in family life, professional settings, and healthcare systems
Presented via Zoom by Celia Sandhya Daniels (she/they)

Celia brings an intersectional blend of ethnicity, creativity, religion, and corporate experience in her “trans-evangelism”, as she likes to call it.  Celia will share how she strives to make LGBTQ+ communities, particularly the trans community, feel welcomed and accepted in all facets of society, from the bathroom to the boardroom.

About our Speaker:

Celia Sandhya Daniels (she/they) is a visionary healthcare management leader and globally respected advocate for equity in data, health, and society. With decades of experience leading strategic programs across healthcare, life sciences, and technology for Fortune 100 companies, Celia is the Founder and CEO of Rebekon Consulting, where she champions the transformative initiative “From the Bathroom to the Boardroom.” As health equity ambassador, Celia has built trusted alliances across healthcare and clinical research, advocating for inclusive policies and equitable care delivery. Her work actively addresses the intersections of AI bias—particularly in clinical algorithms, recruitment, health tech, and data governance—where gender, race, and identity are too often overlooked. She calls for human-centered AI, rooted in dignity, transparency, and accountability. As an Asian Indian immigrant, parent, and transgender woman, Celia brings lived experience to her writing and public speaking, shedding light on the challenges marginalized individuals face in family life, professional settings, and healthcare systems in both the U.S. and India. Celia’s impact has earned her recognition as one of the Top 20 LGBTQ+ Leaders in Biopharma and among the Top 10 LGBTQ+ Voices on LinkedIn in the U.S. and Canada. She serves on the Board of Workforce Development Board, Diversity Collective, PFLAG, and Stonewall Democrats of Ventura County.

Our in person support group meetings now take place at:

Meetings are now held inside of the allcove Café on the first floor of the Beach Cities Health District main building, in the hallway across from the elevators. There is plenty of free parking inside the Beach Cities Health District parking lot. Be on the lookout for the PFLAG signage to help guide you into the building.

Our PFLAG general support meetings will be held both IN PERSON and VIA ZOOM.
Virtual meeting attendees still require RSVP. If you are new to Zoom, CLICK HERE to get set-up.

A NOTE ABOUT VIRTUAL MEETINGS:
We will be utilizing Zoom features that provide the highest level of safety and confidentiality possible.  Zoom is free to you and you need not have an account to join us.  If you are new to Zoom, you can follow the links [here] for brief tutorials on all you need to know to sign on to a Zoom meeting with us.  We ask that each of you that would like to participate in the on-line support, contact us in advance by email at rsvp@pflagmanhattanbeach.org to RSVP for the meeting.  We will cut off RSVPs at 5 p.m. on the day of the meeting.  All participants will receive a follow-up email with the link to the Zoom call and a password.  For confidentiality’s sake, please do not forward these to another participant — they are welcome to contact us directly to receive the link.

We ask that youth who may want to join for our support groups to please be joined by a parent.  Some heavy emotions can emerge in the course of our sessions and having a parent on-hand helps to ensure that the needs of any youth on the call are met.
