Thanks for taking me to the Boy Aquarium @Lyft!
When I saw Lyft stand up and help the trans community get around during the driver licence revoking in Kansas, it meant so much to me. So when I had an opportunity to collaborate with a company that supports my community when we need it the most it was an immediate yes!
I was able to head down to NYC and reunite with my 3 loves: Hockey, @ErikaLawler2 and Heated Rivalry ;) Being able to connect with old friends, make new ones and celebrate this awesome Sports Romance community in a historic venue like Madison Square Garden was such a joy! Extra plus, I got to watch hockey with some of my Heated Rivalry fam with @nadinebhabs and @robsgk.
Seeing the Ilya and Shane jerseys fill up the suite, made me realize that these characters symbolize inclusion in a space that hasn’t always made folks part of my community feel welcome. Hockey fans are shifting and it’s really lovely to see folks take up their space unapologetically.
So thank you Lyft for bringing us together and getting me to my next adventure safely.
Until next time!
✌🏻💙🚗🏒

Last week, Lyft took me to tier Boyquarium, AKA Madison Square Garden. And this is how it went. Lyft steps in to offer rides after Kansas voids, transgender residents, driver's licenses. Seeing an organization step up and help the trans community in a time where organizations are mostly silent meant the world to me. And so when Tier reached out about this potential collaboration with the boy aquarium and sports romance novels, I immediately was like, yes. And also, I had a lot of fun. I was able to go to a hockey game surrounded by LGBTQ plus individuals, fans of sport, romance, and also to be able to hang with my friend Erica Lawler again. Erica Lawler and I, we play together with the NWHL. Every time I get to go to New York City, I love to reconnect with her and, just bring the community together. And I think the first thing that I noticed when we were walking into Madison Square Gardens after getting out of our lift was a Hollander Jersey. And then when we got to the suite, I realized that, this person was also in the suite with us. Yeah. I got to be reunited with my fellow Canadian actors, like heated rivalry fam with Nadine and Robbie GK, also known as Kip and Elena. Yeah, the environment was awesome. The conversations were amazing. The Rangers won and, it was just a really special event. So thank you so much lift for having me. It was an absolute blast. Thank you for taking me to the boy aquarium.
