Gender As My Adverb Lecture Slide

Gender As My Adverb

Gender As My Adverb is a presentation that takes audiences through the foundations of human growth and development in relation to sex (body), gender (self), expression (communication) and orientation (relationships). 

​

After covering basic principles Ryan shares his story from childhood to an emerging adult. His closing message reminds audiences that who they are is dynamic, not static. If you are open to what you are learning, you'll continue to grow and move past perceived barriers.
