Writing A Speech…

I have been occupied latterly trying to write a speech for a workshop at the Legislative Office Building that is sponsored by the Connecticut’s Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities and The Office of Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities.

It is challenging writing the speech because it will be a mixed audience, professional educators and counselors, and students ages 16 – 25. Of course I’m speaking about discrimination and bullying against trans-students. It is also challenging because it is only the second speech that I will have giving and the other speech to a group of law student and that speech was on how laws affect social justice and I just about winged it from the cuff. While this speech is more or less going to be written and I want to practice it so I wouldn’t have to read it. While I am writing it, I’m also video recording it to see how it flows.

So if I seem preoccupied it is because of this and other issues.
