About the Event

virtual event; open to mentors across all programs

Calling all Girls Write Now Mentors! This is for you! Join us as our Professional Development series continues.

In this session, Ami Davis, founder of the Acadami, will discuss suggested practices to increase inclusion and equity specifically regarding LGBTQIA2S+ individuals via understanding relative language, concepts, common barriers, and sharing resources. We will explore LGBTQIA2S+ language and concepts such as biological/sex assigned at birth, gender identity, expression, and pronouns. We will consider introductory understandings of bias; how to identify bias within yourself; and how to avoid associated behaviors in the workplace. Ami will also suggest unique considerations for working with marginalized populations such as gender, sexual, racial, and ethnic minorities, while touching upon intersections of race, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

Participants will have the opportunity to practice utilizing neutral pronouns, correcting missteps, addressing inaccuracies, and more.
