We are so honored to be joined by Roma Guy, lifelong activist LGBTQ - and women's-rights activist.
Roma was born in Maine and earned a Masters in Social Work from the University of Maine, after which she worked in Africa for nine years.
Roma and her partner Dianne moved to San Francisco in the 1970s. They were two of The Women's Building's cofounders, and Roma was a cofounder of La Casa de las Madres, SF Women Against Rape, and The Women’s Foundation of California. Roma also advocated for women's access to health care in San Francisco, and she served for twelve years on the Health Commission City and County of San Francisco.
From 1994 to 2007 she worked as a professor in the Department of Health Education at San Francisco State University. As of 2017 she is the director of the Bay Area Homelessness Program.
In 2018 she was chosen by the National Women's History Project as one of its honorees for Women's History Month in the United States.
Emily Skeggs plays the younger Roma Guy and Mary-Louise Parker plays the older Roma Guy in the 2017 ABC miniseries about LGBT rights called When We Rise.
