May 23, 2023
Time:
9:00 AM - 10:30 AM CDT
Event Description:
One of the big fears of allies is saying the wrong thing. Language is fluid, meanings and subtexts change over time. Particularly for older allies, keeping up with language can be intimidating. In this session, we'll tackle some of the reasons behind evolving language and help participants understand some of the nuances and important considerations informing their word choice.
