AMBER CANTORNA
A storyteller and shepherd at heart, I love to gather the spiritual nomads, the wanderers, the doubters, the seekers, and especially those who have been pushed to the margins of society and/or church and bring them into a place that feels like home. I’m a national speaker, coach, and educator supporting LGBTQ+ people as they navigate their coming out process, and educating others on the importance of full inclusion.
I’m the author of Refocusing My Family and Unashamed (the first coming-out guide for LGBTQ people of faith) and have a third book on the way. I'm also the creator and host of the Unashamed Love Collective~a beautifully diverse and inclusive online community for LGBTQ+ people and allies.
Many people know me as the gay daughter of a 30+ year executive at Focus on the Family who lost everything upon coming out in 2012. My experience propelled me into a world of social justice and my heart is to help others foster self-acceptance and reconcile their faith with their sexuality so that they can live and thrive in the world without shame.
