“Speak your mind - even if your voice shakes.“

— Maggie Kuhn

Whatever you want to say, this is the place.

Maybe it has nothing to do with sexual orientation or gender expression or relational structure. 

Maybe you want to talk about why the world needs better design. Or about how you’ve created the world’s most magnificent recipe for a turkey sandwich. But you want to practice in a space you know is welcoming and affirming.

Whatever.  No matter the topic, we’ll give you a stage and listen and provide feedback so you can improve your public speaking.
