A Little Of My Story

Mayor Kate Gallego

Since her early days serving Phoenix on the City Council, Kate has been focused on creating the Phoenix of the future: a welcoming, thriving city with ample high-wage jobs and opportunities for all.
As mayor, Kate spends every day focused on getting things done for Phoenix families. The results speak for themselves: Kate brought a historic $65 billion semiconductor manufacturing plant to Phoenix that’s creating thousands of great-paying career paths; she built coalitions to deliver critical improvements to parks, public safety, and city infrastructure; and she is partnering with ASU to build a brand-new medical school in downtown Phoenix.
Kate is the second elected woman mayor in Phoenix history and one of the youngest big city mayors in the nation. She graduated from Harvard and holds an MBA from the Wharton School of Business. Though serving Phoenicians keeps her days busy and her heart full, her favorite job is being Michael’s mom.

Our Story

The Grand Canyon Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

The Grand Canyon Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (Grand Canyon Sisters/GCSPI) has the vision to unite, elevate, and empower the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+) and Allied communities throughout Arizona. Our primary role and pledge is to provide operative support of every facet of the identified communities through fundraising, entertainment and education throughout Arizona. The family that created us is the one we honor with our Sacred Sisterly Identity. From our veils to our glitter we will be sure everyone knows how important it is to be an individual. We strongly believe that each of us has a path to follow. We all, at some point, find a way to help our sisters and brothers to have a rich and rewarding life without guilt and shame. By presenting ourselves in a comedic and flamboyant display, we demonstrate the principles of "life without guilt" to all we touch. We strongly believe that our lives belong to each of us to fill with love, laughter, self-respect and indeed indulgence. We host our own fundraising events throughout the year and are pleased to offer our presence to community events of others as time allows.
