The Ford School is proud to support a student-led initiative concluding this year’s Out Week, hosted by Out For Business: a fireside chat with Chasten Buttigieg - author, teacher, education enthusiast, LGBTQ+ rights advocate, and husband of Secretary of Transportation and previous presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.

After leaving the 2020 campaign trail, Chasten Buttigieg published his first book, I Have Something to Tell You. In this moving, uplifting memoir, he recounts his journey to finding acceptance as a young gay man in rural Northern Michigan.

In conversation with Emma Jabour (MPP/MBA '24), this discussion will focus on the intersections of identity and allyship, particularly in social and professional contexts.
