My Life's Journey, from Stephen to Stefanie - In Person Chicago

Join us for an inspiring and deeply personal presentation, “My Life’s Journey: From Stephen to Stefanie,” with Stefanie Clark—a Renaissance woman, storyteller, and advocate. Born male but aware of her true identity from an early age, Stefanie spent decades navigating life between two selves before embracing her authentic identity later in life. In this candid talk, Stefanie reflects on a remarkable journey spanning career success, personal loss, and ultimately transformation and purpose. Stefanie also addresses ongoing challenges within the transgender community, including limited access to qualified healthcare providers and evolving insurance barriers. Her presentation offers OLLI members a meaningful opportunity to better understand LGBTQ+ experiences and the importance of respect, inclusion, and lifelong growth.
