Nia Chiaramonte

Nia Chiaramonte has been a Human Resources professional for the last 20 years, focused on creating a culture of love, inclusivity, and "Employees First", understanding that individuals and teams must feel safe and secure in order to thrive and grow. Building a culture of safety became personally important as Nia struggled to be who she is. After spending the first 35 years of her life in hiding, scared to be who she is, scared of what it might cost her, she came out as a transgender woman. While the cost has been high, the freedom to be and embrace herself as who she is has been worth it.

As co-founder of Love in the Face and co-author of Embracing Queer Family, Nia hopes to support other transgender and LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families on their own journeys of self-discovery.
