Lyon & Rose offer uniquely crafted, experiential trainings for your school or organization. We specialize in diversity issues related to gender & sexuality in K-16 schools, integrating mindfulness, personal reflection and community building into each workshop or speaking engagement.

 

Who We Are

Lyon & Rose In 2014, newly engaged to be married, Sofia & Sammy teamed up to create Lyon & Rose. They combined their passions and experience, both personal and professional, to begin a project they love. Luckily, S & S work just as well as colleagues as they do as spouses! Sofia brings expertise as an LGBTQ professional, woman of color, and mindfulness practitioner. Sammy brings their expertise as a trans & genderqueer educator, and multi media trainer.

A note on pronouns: we all use gendered pronouns all the time because we live in a world organized by gender. Part of our work is to reflect, model, and honor the ways gendered language is evolving. We use she/her, he/him, and they/them, where “they” signifies a move to a “third” or “fluid” gender, and stretches the construct of there being only two genders.

What Our Colleagues Are Saying

Sofia has an amazing ability to make the person with whom she is speaking with feel as if they are the most important thing at that moment. – Kevin McCloskey, Assistant Director, LifeWorks Mentoring Los Angeles LGBT Center

Sammy asks perceptive and penetrating questions, which have enabled me to better come to understand my own teaching. – Larisa Showalter, Former Director of the Center for Teaching & Learning, Windward School
