November's Open Minds Meeting - Let's Talk Language!
Hello friends,
It's another strange month in a strange year. I hope you are all keeping well and managing as best you can.
October's Open Minds meeting was a real breath of fresh air. We all brought an object to talk about, something important to us with a story and I learnt a lot about everyone and left the group with lots to reflect on too.
The point was to think about what we own and how it can affect how we feel. The research says that objects with positive memories can help us when we're not feeling our best and it's useful to know which objects you can reach for when you feel like this.
As LGBTQ+ Punjabis language is one of the ways we can be excluded from conversations or be made to feel shame or stigma.I want to start this months meeting with a conversation about your relationship to language. The languages you grew up hearing, the languages you speak now, and languages you wish you spoke.
The website is almost done and our new logo is attached to this newsletter! Exciting times.
We're looking for artists, writers and people who want to tell their stories to contribute to the community section of the website. Get in touch if you want to take part.
As usual the sign up for Open Minds is via Eventbrite .
Hope to see you there!
Kuljit
