About this Class

Description:

This collaborative workshop helps you build a newbie onboarding presentation tailored to your local community. Angel will share the strategies, structure, and lessons they've developed since 2018, while participants contribute ideas and feedback. You'll leave with a presentation framework and practical notes to continue refining at home. Please bring something to take notes. Recording and dictation devices are not permitted. An editable PowerPoint and facilitator notes are available for purchase.



Breakdown:

I will provide you with a breakdown of recommended definitions, terms, etiquette and lingo to include. We will discuss how to present these in a way that is easy to remember, and anecdotes that make the content memorable without reducing it's impact.

We will cover how to introduce humor while still respecting the seriousness of the discussions. Learn how to respectfully let people know you need to move forward with the class without making them feel unheard.

Duration: 90 Minutes

Lead Presenter

Angel has been part of the A-spec community since their mid-teens, with active involvement since 2018. They host and assist various events and teach several classes. Angel's journey to understanding their asexuality was influenced by growing up in a swinger's household, initially mistaking desensitization for asexuality. Over the past 5-6 years, Angel has gained a deeper understanding of their identity, becoming fully immersed in the community by the end of 2023. Angel is passionate about dispelling misconceptions about A-spec identities and providing support for those on their journey.
