Session Description:
Language has the power to shape how we experience the world, advocate for ourselves, and connect with others. In Belonging in Bloom, we’ll explore the power of communication as a cornerstone of self-advocacy—within and beyond societal limits. This isn’t about conforming to expectations or avoiding mistakes; it’s about the messy work of creating space for ourselves and others to flourish. Together, we’ll explore how intentional language use can challenge biases, dismantle barriers, and open possibilities for belonging.
