Beau Knowles Advocate, Creator, LGBTQ Friendly
@BeauKnowles

Hi there, my name is Beau (Bo) I'm a LGBTQ Advocate, Creator of LGBTQ Friendly Directories and an Autism Parent. I live in Eastern Tennessee.

SPEAKS ABOUT LGBTQ RESOURCES I have always been an advocate, first with Autism and now with LGBTQ resources. I have always tried to help people. I speak to people that seek me out, via Facebook messenger, email, text message, what have you. I help people find resources but also talk to them to help some understand the struggles of the LGBTQ community. For example, a grandparent with a grandchild who was coming out, an adult coming out late in life, a homeless person needing resources. I try to lift people up, set them softly on the security of a pillow of my words. Sometimes all someone needs are a listening ear. This is my website about my advocacy. https://www.beauknowleslgbt.com/about

SHARES INFORMATION: I created a directory of LGBTQ Friendly Businesses. I gathered so much information I have added other cities and states to my lists of businesses and resources. My goal here was to make this information searchable and sharable. No one should have trouble finding the help that they need. This is my website as I begin to become a national brand. https://www.lgbtqfriendlybusinessdirectory.com/

BUSINESS CONSULTANT I love to help your business grow. I will assist you in learning to do things yourself versus doing them for you. This is very empowering as many of us have untapped skills. I know building my website was something I never imagined I could do. Also working with social media, I have learned some trick of the trade that I'm happy to share. I can create videos for organizations using their photos.

SOCIAL MEDIA CONSULTANT: Though I have been using social media platforms such as Facebook for many years. I now own and manage several pages. I help nonprofits with social media management. Creating content and verifying Google business profiles. I write articles on my business page related to my experiences. https://www.beauknowleslgbt.com/articles/free-small-business-advice My consultant Facebook is https://www.facebook.com/Beau.Knowles.Lgbt
