Wendy Stuart will be hosting TriVersity Talk! this Wednesday at 7 PM ET with featured guest Maria Konner.
TriVersity Talk! is a weekly web series with featured guests discussing their lives, activism and pressing issues in the LGBTQ Community. With TriVersity Talk!, the goal is to laugh and learn.
TriVersity Talk! Is part of TriVersity’s ICARE Initiative. ICARE stands for Increasing Community Awareness through Relevant Education. ICARE Programs are generously funded by The Greater Pike Community.
Girl Shock! takes you on Maria’s journey from living a frustrated, unfulfilling and bored straight-dude life in the ‘burbs to becoming a fabulous trans entertainer. Not only does she share her transformation and how much fun she’s having, she goes into her struggles with an evil villain, the Monoculture Virus, and how she found out that being Maria made her immune to it’s devastating machinations.
After escaping from her straight dude suburban life, MARIA KONNER moved to San Francisco to be reborn! She explored and then rocked the city for over 15 years. Moving to New York City in the summer of 2022 she joined the downtown and midtown performance scene enfusing the jazz/blues/cabaret piano and rock nightlife with her own signature “fabulous” style, singing, playing piano and guitar and contributing a cavalcade of original songs, parodies, and more.
Maria is currently a Cybersecurity & Risk Management Tech Executive. She also has a lobbying background (Cybersecurity, Medical Devices, Green Energy) and is applying her skills to what she considers to be the most important issue of all, one that is at the root of so many other problems: The need for better discourse in Social Media.
“The songs are catchy and the subject has a relevance that should resonate with viewers beyond Pride Month. Konner’s story pushes the listeners to empathize, to laugh, and to question the monoculture she once found herself so restrained by.”
