ChrysalisQ is excited to introduce our new Director, Dr. Mary Street Wilson. Our initial effort to launch ChrysalisQ was stalled by the pandemic, but the pause gave us the opportunity to find the perfect fit for our community. Mary is one of Austin’s most dedicated LGBTQ+ and social justice pioneers and advocates. Additionally, Mary is a speaker, teacher, preacher, grandma, mom, and spouse. She loves St. Louis Cardinal baseball, Dr. Pepper, and her awesome grandchildren. As ChrysalisQ Director, she will be making connections throughout the Austin and Central Texas LGBTQ+ community and helping establish ChrysalisQ as a safe, supportive community for LGBTQ+ kids and their families to learn, grow, transition, and become.
