&lt;p style="margin-bottom:10px;"&gt;In an effort to include more diverse voices and stories, while also acknowledging the burden and burnout that often occurs for BIPOC members, we are also utilizing resources that already exist. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ted.com/talks?sort=relevance&amp;q=LGBT" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a great list of LGBTQ+ themed Ted Talks, many of which are BIPOC speakers. During our meeting we'll watch one together and discuss as a group. Past Ted Talks watched in the group include: &lt;a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/fahad_saeed_the_importance_of_using_inclusive_language" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Fahad Saeed | The importance of using inclusive language&lt;/a&gt;. and &lt;a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/nita_mosby_tyler_want_a_more_just_world_be_an_unlikely_ally" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Nita Mosby Tyler | Want a more just world? Be an unlikely ally&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom:20px;"&gt;We are always looking for live speakers to join during a meeting. If you have a role model recommendation, contact a member of the Planning Committee (contact info below). Maybe it's you! The overall theme for speakers is to share their experience or tell a story of living and working authentically out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom:20px;text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This Month's Ted Talk:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/gabby_rivera_the_story_of_marvel_s_first_queer_latina_superhero" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;The story of Marvel's first queer Latina superhero with Gabby Rivera&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom:20px;text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABOUT: &lt;/strong&gt;With Marvel's "America Chavez," Gabby Rivera wrote a new kind of superhero -- one who can punch portals into other dimensions while also embracing her gentle, goofy, soft side. In a funny, personal talk, Rivera shares how her own childhood as a queer Puerto Rican in the Bronx informed this new narrative -- and shows images from the comic book that reveal what happens when a superhero embraces her humanity. As she says: "That myth of having to go it alone and be tough is not serving us."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
