Have you ever asked yourself “Did I use the ‘correct’ pronoun for that person?” The San Mateo County Pride Center, in collaboration with San Mateo County Libraries, is proud to offer this “Pronouns 101” workshop to help you feel more comfortable in any situation! This workshop will take place virtually on June 15th from 6:00-7:30pm. Register at: smcl.org/pronounpro.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to safely ask someone their pronouns, delve into neo pronouns, and experience a safe space to ask your questions about pronouns. Through interactive activities like videos, zoom polls, and engaging questions, we’ll help you become a pro at pronouns!
Starting in May, the San Mateo County Libraries is giving away related books (while supplies last) that we’d love for you to read before the program once you register. These books are meant to help you understand how to use pronouns and for you to then share with your community. More details about how you can share the books, and start a conversation around pronouns with friends, family, and in your workplace will be provided at the event.
For any questions, please contact Darren Heiber (heiber@smcl.org).

We will hold discussion about how race, gender, and sexuality intertwine and intersect. During this workshop there will be opportunities to share common ground, learn from each other’s differences, and expand our notion of allyship within the LGBTQ+ community.
This event takes place on June 17th from 6-7:30pm.
