Have you seen these mystery flowers popping up all over Wisconsin?

This morning at 77 local businesses across the state, tiny flowers popped up in sidewalk cracks, like magic overnight.
 
Much like these flowers, 1.7 million LGBTQ+ kids are without homes. On the street, all alone, these kids fight against all odds. The flowers scattered across Wisconsin today call attention to the urgent need to create safe spaces for q***r youth.
 
This is Courage to Grow. Learn about how you can help, donate, or find a flower near you at the link in our bio.

You know them, you love them. But in case you need a reintroduction, meet our reigning Miss and Mr Courage+, Miss Birdee and Eddie Candelaria! Some may call it record-length title-holding; others may call it "2020 happened" (and then some). Regardless, we're so happy to welcome Miss Birdee and Eddie back for one final night before they hand their titles over to crown the next Miss and Mr Courage+.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made our first annual Bravery in Bloom Q***r Arts Festival a success. We couldn't have asked for a sunnier, more joyful day.

Thank you to Beth Deyo ( on Instagram) for coming out to capture some of the day, and thank you to all of our fabulous artists, sponsors, vendors, and non-profit partner orgs for making our first ever festival everything we'd dreamed of.

We'll be sharing more photos soon!
