Hershey Area - All Things Diversity

Hershey Area All Things Diversity creates events to educate, create awareness, and promote acceptance and inclusion in our community.

Hershey Area: All Things Diversity

Hershey Area - All Things Diversity is a free series of programs coordinated by Derry Township and The Hershey Story, The Museum on Chocolate Avenue. The January presentation, Creating an Inclusive Environment for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Members will be presented by Joan Rater, Producer.
According to GLAAD, an organization committed to "rewrite(ing) the script for LGBT acceptance," we all have an opportunity to encourage dialogue that leads to this change. Joan Rater wil join us to share her experiences raising a transgender child with the hope that what she has learned will help to shape our dialogue for change in the Hershey community.
After joining Grey's Anatomy at the start of the second season with her writing partner and husband, Tony Phelan, they produced numerous episodes and ran the writing room, alongside creator Shonda Rhimes. The show earned a WGA Award for New Series in 2005, and was nominated for Emmys in 2006 and 2007, both for Outstanding Drama Series. Joan has also written for Law & Order: Trial By Jury and Madam Secretary.
