Wendy Stuart Kaplan and Steven Bloomer-Teague will be hosting TriVersity Talk this Thursday at 7 PM ET with featured guests Johnny Pizzolato and Roswell Hamrick.

TriVersity Talk is a weekly web series with featured guests discussing their lives, activism and pressing issues in the LGBTQ Community. With TriVersity Talk!, the goal is to laugh and learn.

TriVersity Talk! Is part of TriVersity’s ICARE Initiative. ICARE stands for Increasing Community Awareness through Relevant Education. ICARE Programs are generously funded by The Greater Pike Community Foundation.

This week’s featured guests are none other than the dashing duo of Johnny Pizzolato and Roswell Hamrick, owners of The "Stickett Inn" in Barryville, New York! Wendy Stuart Kaplan and Steven Bloomer-Teague are excited to talk with Johnny and Roswell about what brought them together, what it's like being LGBTQ+ business owners in rural New York, and what makes their Stickett Inn Cider so darn good.
