Pronouns 101
Have you ever asked yourself “did I use the “correct” pronoun for that person”? This Pronouns 101 workshop will help you feel more comfortable in any situation! In this workshop, you will learn how to safely ask someone their pronouns, break down neo pronouns and experience a safe space to ask your questions about pronouns. Through interactive videos, zoom polls, and pronoun use practice, we will help you become a pro at pronouns!
Speaker: Azisa (Zi) Todd was born and raised in Oakland and uses she/her/hers/they pronouns, or simply Zi. Much of their community work started young when Azisa was a Girl Scout and continued into high school. While in high school, she did the usual queer things like co-organize the Queer Straight Alliance and Feminist Club. After, Zi went on to undergrad, served as a member then director of BlaQue, UCLA’s Black LGBTQ+ organization. Zi hosted events, workshops, and study sessions up until the pandemic hit. Having since graduated from UCLA, she decided to jump back into academia and pursue a master’s in public health at San Francisco State University with an emphasis in community health education. Azisa’s long-term goal after completing the MPH program is to pursue a DrPH or PhD in public health and teach what they have learned to college-level students.
Azisa is excited to be the Lead Trainer and Events Coordinator position at the San Mateo County Pride Center because of their background in organizing and hosting events for the queer community in LA and the various workshops Zi helped develop; doing this form of work is both rewarding and joyful for Zi. Outside of academia and work, she is learning how to roller skate and watch a lot of anime.
