Kelli Dunham is a standup comic, a registered nurse, an author, a storyteller, and... wait for it... an ex nun. Kelli's website says, "I don't know how all of this came together on a resume", but I've done my best to find out, though there is so much beyond what we got to speak about*!

Having lost two partners between the ages of 38 and 43, Kelli is an expert on the intersections of art, grief and community- based caregiving, and presents across the US to healthcare providers about LGBT issues, LGBT health, and gender and health, using humour and the transformative power of first- person storytelling.

*Kelli's website is a treasure trove- I'm annoyed at myself for not asking about their 2015 White House Champions of Change nominee (under the Obama administration)! You can find the site at: kellidunham.com
