Our Community Our Business Our Pride

His commitment to family and community doesn’t start or end with Microsoft—he has spent a lifetime overcoming obstacles through the power of mentorship. His life was shaped by coming out as a gay youth, the challenges of family acceptance, and a time facing the scourge of homelessness.Kim will be sharing his inspirational story, and how you can gain strength through vulnerability, on June 23, 5:30 PM, at the Radisson Plaza Hotel, Minneapolis.
