Bailey
Bailey Smith (she/her) has lived in Chico since 2013. As a queer trans woman and a parent of two older kids who are also part of the LGBTQ+ community, she feels honored and humbled to have this opportunity to spend time with such an amazing group of young people for free! Queer teen joy is just the best. Bailey lives with her younger kiddo (fora little while longer, anyway) and a varying number of cats and enjoys cooking, skiing, musical theatre, and road trips involving getting lost with purpose.

Lilly
Lilly is from Chico and has grown up with Stonewall in a deeply personal way. Having attended Stonewall’s teen groups during her own teen years, this moment feels incredibly full circle. It is an honor for her to now be in a position to give back and help create the same welcoming and affirming space that once meant so much to her. She has always valued the sense of community Stonewall brings into her life and is genuinely excited for this opportunity.
