Service Learning Project @ FSU

In 2015, I partnered with an organization in the local Tallahassee community to galvanize and harmonize the LGBTQ+ community.  Along with the Tallahassee arts and activist community theater, The Mickee Faust Club, I created a one-of-a-kind event called Come Out Through Art, a special evening of shared stories through the arts, where people could meet, engage, and artistically share with members of the LGBTQ+ community in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

Community Engagement

For months I collaborated with the Mickee Faust Club team, including founder and artistic director Terry Galloway, Executive Director and Professor in the School of Communication at Florida State University, Donna Nudd, and longtime cast member and producer, Jimmers Micallef, for a total of fifty (50) service learning hours during my ARE 5252 – Art in Community Service graduate school course taught by Dr. Antonio C. Cuyler at Florida State University.

Program Outcome

More than a dozen speakers and performers and over 60 audience members packed The Mickee Faust Club to share or support unique LGBTQ+ coming out stories through unique poems, songs, and personal tales.

Student Life Organization

Veg Club: Plant-Based Information
Broward College, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
2019 – 2021

Created and served as a faculty advisor for Veg Club, a plant-based information club and registered Student Life organization on the Central Campus of Broward College, from 2019-2021.


Many students on the leadership executive board of Veg Club were high school students in the dual enrollment College Academy program.


The club's mission was to promote plant-based information literacy by sharing ideas, discussing stories, exchanging information, and learning as a veggie community.


The purpose of the student life organization was to learn how to research trustworthy information better, interpret data quicker, and evaluate sources to use health information resources more efficiently for optimum health.


For my college service and librarian support as a faculty advisor to the students in Veg Club, I was named the Advisor of the Year for clubs at the Central Campus of Broward College during the 2021 Student Life annual recognition ceremony, affectionately known as The Sammys (after Sammy the Seahawk mascot).

Community Engagement

Come Out Through Art
Mickee Faust Club, Tallahassee, FL / 2015

I created Come Out Through as a service learning project designed to strengthen the LGBTQ+ community through the art of storytelling, while studying Arts in Community Engagement in The Graduate School at Florida State University

Come Out Through Art has a mission to provide Tallahassee residents with a welcoming and enjoyable platform that encourages community engagement through the arts.

The Mickee Faust Club is the perfect communal public forum for this celebration of public pride. A non­traditional and culturally diverse gathering place, The Mickee Faust Club stands tall and proud as a leading arts institution, furthering community engagement by providing Tallahassee’s thriving LGBTQ+ community with an exciting performing arts clubhouse. We want you to be involved.

For Come Out Through Art, I initiated a strategic marketing plan designed to engage both the online and local LGBTQ+ community, including businesses, markets, university groups, and non-profit civic organizations.

Along with collaborative assistance from co-producers at Mickee Faust, I developed mutually beneficial relationships with New Leaf Market Co-op, a local health foods store, which agreed to participate by distributing promotional coupons.


The Family Tree Community Center, Florida LGBTA Democratic Caucus, and PFLAG, participated in the event through banner placement, public speaking, and community engagement. Pride Student Union, the LGBTQ+ organization at Florida State University, helped spread the word about the event to the college community.

Social media accounts helped MF digitally engage with the local community. Facebook and Instagram were friendly and approachable introductory tools, which helped to introduce this safe evening of community participation, galvanizing new audience members from within the community.

In addition to local marketing, WTXL Television helped promote the event and advance the social justice issue of equality by conducting a live on-air interview with MF members.


True to its mission of providing a voice for the voiceless, specifically the under-served and overlooked, Come Out Through Art provided an unforgettable evening of engagement. Through the art of storytelling, close to 70 performers, organizers, and audience members sparked new connections, initiated civic dialogue, and helped strengthen and unify Tallahassee’s robust LGBTQ+ community at The Mickee Faust Club.
