“Born to Be” Film Screening and Panel Discussion

The film Born to Be (92min) follows the work of Dr. Jess Ting at the groundbreaking Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery in New York City-where, for the first time ever, all transgender and gender non-conforming people have access to quality transition-related health and surgical care. With extraordinary access, this feature-length documentary takes an intimate look at how one doctor’s work impacts the lives of his patients as well as how his journey from renowned plastic surgeon to pioneering gender-affirming surgeon has led to his own transformation. The screening of the film will be immediately followed by a panel discussion. The panel will include Carmen Neely, President of Harlem Pride, Kim Watson, Co-founder of Community Kinship Life (known as CKLife) that assists transgender people with support and resources, and Dr. Emalinda McSpadden, Assistant Professor at Bronx Community College and Co-chair of The CUNY LGBTQI+ Council.
