The Free Spirits
The Free Spirits
Freeland Free Spirits program celebrates female-identifying, transgender, and gender-nonconforming Oregonians who are busting through the glass ceilings and soaring. These are people who think and act in an uninhibited way without worrying about so-called rules or norms. We might call them non-conformists, rule-benders, iconoclasts, mavericks, or bohemians. We might say they march to their own beat, to their own muse. We appreciate them for their abilities to help their community, to create beauty, to be original, to blaze trails, and to celebrate unabashedly.

Our second Free Spirit was awarded to Guadalupe Guajardo. Guadalupe has served for 30 years as a consultant to the Nonprofit Association of Oregon, specializing in multi-cultural training. With NAO, she recently launched Latina Associates for Collaborative Endeavors (LACE), providing support to nonprofits with bi-cultural and bi-lingual consultants. Guadalupe is a practicing nun, which inspired the name of her cocktail - Sisterhood.
