A Reiki Master. An entrepreneur. A certified Holistic Life Coach, Franchesca D’Amore does everything she can to leave an impact on the community.

“There are so many individuals in our community who deserve recognition. I am beyond honored to be selected as an OUT50,” she said.

She is the entrepreneur of The Health and Wellness Industry and offers private sessions and group workshops in her practice. She also works with doctors doing research and offering support remotely.

“I love what I do in my professional career. When I think of ‘the work’ I do, I think of my love for community work.”

D’Amore is the Secretary for Safe Schools South Florida. With the anti-LGBT legislation rising, she said their mission is stronger than ever. They are creating new programs to create a safer space for students.

She is also the Entertainment Director for My Hollywood Pride.

D’Amore wants to give back to the community with her work, and has always been part of her life’s philosophy.

“It's funny, people assume that I'm independently wealthy because of the volunteer work that I do,” she said. “I do it because it feels great to be involved with our community and experience the richness and diversity of our LGBTQ+ siblings.”

Her vision is to create an inclusive and respectful community.

“It's important for the trans community to have a seat at different tables. I believe we have to start within our own community to unite the L, the G, the B, the T, the Q and the + to create a unified LGBTQ+ community.”
