We received a concerned email from a Demia member about how communication styles were a bit of butting heads. Here are some rules we want to consider:

• If you speak often, step back and let other people have their say
• Check your privilege, so make sure you are keeping intersectionality in mind and the people who are and aren’t in the room
• Don’t interrupt or speak over other people
• Allow a marginalized group its agency
• Give someone a chance to explain their views and see where someone is coming from

*****If there are any more concerns please email Hannah or Kate Langdon****
