A local photographer is offering her talents to transgender folks in our community to help build their self-esteem and show themselves as they truly are.  

*Erin Bernard says she's all about inclusion and  has dubbed her project #MyNameIs.

*She wants to use her photography to make a difference in the lives of trans individuals.

*She's hoping the trans community members will nominate each other on her Facebookpage.  Erin prefers private messages for nominations.  Trans individuals can also nominate themselves to be a part of the project.
