Society & Culture
Kristoffer Pirie is a stylist and activist in the Iowa Great Lakes. He grew up in Milford, IA, and followed in his father's footsteps by attending beauty school. Kristoffer has spent the majority of his life in the area and speaks highly of the uniqueness of activity and community that can be found in the Iowa Great Lakes. He recently took more of a local spotlight when a local group he helped form, LGBTQS Alliance of Northwest Iowa, worked on displaying pride flags on trees in nearby towns. The group has since grown significantly to begin more outreach to the queer community and so allies can become more involved to make the area a more visibly safe and accepting place. Big Spirit: Tales from the Iowa Great Lakes is supported by JJ School of Music. The premiere location for music classes and private lessons in the Iowa Great Lakes.
