Send Skylar to VIDCON 2015!
Skylarkeleven AKA Skylar Kergil is trying to attend VidCon to be a part of their LGBT Creator panel!
What: For more info on VidCon, click here ! Last year, I was invited to be a part of this panel for video content creators. Unfortunately, I was in process of moving and did not have the funds, so I politely declined. This year, they came back with even more to offer and I would LOVE to be able to attend and be there for the larger community!
When: Vidcon is July 23-25th this year. I plan to be out there the 22nd-26th so as to hold a local meet-up on the west coast with fans/friends/family!
Why: YouTube has been a huge support for me in my transition from female to male. I've been documenting my physical transition since January of 2009. Some of my videos have reached over one million views - something I find truly impossible to believe! I would love to be able to be in a physical space where video content is celebrated and progressive, to be able to connect with other creators, and to be able to answer any questions/topics from youth or fans about anything LGBT or transgender related.
$2000 fundraiser:
Flight - $850 - $1000 depending on when I can book it
Hotel - $650 for those days
Food & extra transportation: roughly $350
But it says $2500? Well, silly me totally forgot about processing fees/extra costs! In any case, if there are extra funds (which I hope there will be!) I will be donating binders to Point 5 CC's binder exchange program! You can learn about their program here , and this is a cause I very much believe directly helps my community :)
And here's a short video!
