Guest Speaker: Ginny Mikita

Ginny Mikita (she/her) is an attorney (graduate of Notre Dame Law School in 1991) in Michigan with a heart for those whose voices have been silenced: the LGBTQ+ community, animals, refugee orphans and incapacitated adults. 

Two years ago, GInny had the privilege of representing her beautiful nine-year old niece in her legal name change proceeding. Since then, she has had the opportunity to provide pro bono representation to close to 100 transgender and non-binary clients seeking to change their legal names. As best she can, she transforms the process leading up to and day-of court hearings are into sacred journeys and ceremonies.
 

Ginny has been married to her husband and legal partner, Bob Kruse, for 26 years. They have two children - a 24 year old son, Spencer, who lives in LA and is an aspiring actor, and a 20 year old daughter, Greta, who is a junior at the University of Michigan and is currently dating a trans young man. 
 

Ginny's Offering:
