A.C. Hunter Library – If “keeping the peace” has cost you your voice, this practical, energizing session is for you. Learn a clear-and-kind communication framework, explore where you tend to fold under pressure, and experience a brief live demo of “Gary,” my queer AI assertiveness coach—available only during the workshop. Together, we’ll use quick role-plays, supportive discussion, and adaptable conversation templates you can start using right
away in real-life situations. Designed for both queer folks and allies, this interactive workshop is warm, skill-focused, and built to help you speak up with confidence—whether you’re saying “no” without guilt, addressing repeated misgendering, or making any other need clear and respected.
