The things that make me tick are finally coming back into play. Those are Toastmasters, my blog, and my fashion sense. It’s contest season and most events are in person once again.

It felt great to attend my first in person Toastmasters event in two years. It felt great to get out of the house on a cold February day. It felt great to talk to people again, who get me and my gender nonconformity ⚧ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 . I hope to have more opportunities like thatContinue reading “First Speech Contest in Two Years”
