Allow Me To Re-introuce Myself:

Re-imagining Queer Storytelling and the Power of Positive Framing

My Story

I had the privilege of presenting this talk at the TEDx Maldon event on July 1st 2023.  Now it is on the TEDx website which feels very cool. My idea is a proposal for a conscious shift forward with the language we use in conversations around gender, sexuality and identity. Language by its design is supposed to evolve.

 

I believe that how we talk to each other is how we love each other. 

Please watch it below and let me know what you think.

I live on the lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung People. The water I drink, the air I breathe, and the trees that make me feel at home are from land unceded. I am thankful to be here and know that my presence as a white settler is a privilege afforded to me by the care of the true custodians of the land. I support First Nations people in the call for a treaty and believe in giving land back, paying the rent, and the need to abolish not only Australia Day but the colonial mindset that upholds it. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal Land.
