Tailored to queer and trans folks of color, this 90-minute workshop will introduce strategies that can be helpful in the face of gender and race based harassment like adrenaline management, de-escalation, and verbal boundary setting, as well as bystander intervention. The class also includes an introduction to Empowerment Self-Defense techniques, starting with the foundational skills of intuition, situational awareness, body language, and voice--which prove effective in increasing safety and confidence.
