I am elated and deeply honored to step into the role of CEO at The Trevor Project for so many reasons - especially since this is an organization I desperately needed myself as a queer young person growing up in South Texas, said Black.
"Right now, far too many queer and transgender young people are struggling with thoughts of suicide and other mental health challenges - not because of who they are, but because of how they are mistreated and stigmatized by other people." Black acknowledges the struggles faced by LGBTQ+ youth.
Black will be superseding Peggy Rajski, who served as the interim CEO after Amit Paley, facing dissatisfaction and concerns amongst employees. Black aims to address mental health challenges and mistreatment in the LGBTQ+ community.
