Safer Spaces Training with Myles Sexton - Cornwall

Creating Safer Spaces: Diversity & Inclusion Training for Organizations and Businesses!

Looking to better support your staff, members, and community in creating inclusive, welcoming environments for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community? This interactive training, led by Myles Sexton, provides a thoughtful and accessible introduction to diversity and inclusion in today’s workplace.

Through a combination of storytelling and practical guidance, participants will explore key topics such as pronoun use, the distinctions between gender identity and sexual orientation, and the meaning and history behind the 2SLGBTQIA+ acronym. The session is designed to foster open dialogue, offering a respectful space where participants can ask questions, build understanding, and gain confidence in navigating conversations that may feel unfamiliar.

Grounded in lived experience as a sober, HIV-positive, non-binary individual, Myles brings authenticity and insight to the training, helping participants connect learning to real-world application. Attendees will also leave with simple, actionable ways to create safer, more inclusive environments within their own organizations and businesses.

This session is free to attend, however donations will be accepted on-site for Diversity Cornwall, providing programming and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in Cornwall, SD&G Counties and Akwesasne.
