Review
"We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming myndstate to lead a youth LGBTQIA+ workshop and perform at our annual Pride event. His energy, authenticity, and creativity deeply resonated with our community, especially with the young people who felt seen, heard, and inspired through the workshop. He not only created a safe and inclusive space where teens could openly share and learn, but also brought an incredible performance that uplifted and celebrated the spirit of Pride. myndstate's professionalism, passion, and genuine commitment to empowering LGBTQIA+ youth made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful for his contribution. We wholeheartedly recommend myndstate for any future workshops, performances, or community events - any group would be fortunate to work with him."
