Anitta Milloro is a queer chaplain educator and community leader who founded Lesbians of Iowa in February 2017 to create a vibrant, affirming, and justice-rooted space for lesbian and queer folks across the state. Drawing from their work as a chaplain, Anitta brings a deep commitment to spiritual care, healing, and authentic connection—values that shape their vision of LOIA as a beloved community where every person is seen, celebrated, and supported.

For Anitta, community is sacred. Whether accompanying people in moments of grief and growth or cultivating joyful spaces of queer belonging, they remain grounded in a belief that transformation happens when we show up for one another with courage, curiosity, and care. As a longtime leader in LOIA, Anitta continues to nurture spaces where all are welcomed with dignity and love.
