Let’s ponder pronouns. Why are she and he so limiting? How can we expand our vocabulary and minds to celebrate gender diversity and equity? Have you ever asked your colleagues, friends and neighbors what pronouns they use? We define so much through labels; they help us organize the world around us, but they can be harmful and disrespectful. Inclusivity is not a trend or a fad. Pronouns are not just words on a page.

Join us as we delve in to the deeper meaning of pronouns and why what we say matters.
