I attended the “Do You Matter” public speaking event presented by Erick Chavez & Andrea Rascon. This interactive session was to allow participants to explore their privilege and identify how they can use their privilege to advocate for others. Erick gains attention in his introduction by addressing the agenda of the event and provides a coherent design of the presentation. He resumes his presentation with acknowledging community guidelines, such as “… respect, “I”-statements, one voice all ears, [and] confidentiality.” He spoke extemporaneously, mostly speaking from a manuscript. He continues the presentation with a video that demonstrated an activity on how having and not having privileges can move someone forward or hold them back from succeeding.
