It is an honor to recommend Dr. Elijah, a visionary leader and powerful advocate who has profoundly impacted my life and the global transgender community. As both my mentor and the esteemed leader of The Global Trans Equity Project (GTEP), Dr. Elijah has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to equity, inclusion, and justice for all transgender people.

His leadership transcends borders, fostering vital conversations and collaborations that reach across nations and cultures. Through his guidance, I have witnessed firsthand how intentional action and courageous dialogue can create real, lasting change. Dr. Elijah’s ability to build bridges between communities, inspire leaders, and amplify marginalized voices is unmatched.

His mentorship has not only sharpened my own purpose and passion, but has modeled what it means to lead with integrity, humility, and vision. Dr. Elijah is not just paving the way—he is building a legacy that ensures no one is left behind in the pursuit of equity for the transgender community worldwide.

I am deeply grateful for his wisdom, guidance, and tireless advocacy.
