The sixth in our Supporting Neurodivergence in Our Congregations Skill Up series, we are joined by Mackenzie MacDade, who shares her experience of ADHD as a person and Religious Educator. This presentation will highlight the assumptions that people make about ADHD and how those assumptions prevent us from providing meaningful lifelong ministry to those with ADHD.
Mackenzie MacDade is a 33 year old, queer woman of color, teaching artist, feminist, part time poet and general rabble rouser. She got her start in feminism from a book of feminist nursery rhymes, and her start in pop culture analysis from 9 years of homeschooling (translation: 9 years of TV and movie watching). A firm believer in queering the collective consciousness, she strives to inspire people to redesign their idea of normal and step out their comfort zone. She takes inspiration from Gertrude Stein, Buffy, Angela Davis, Faith and bell hooks. Someone once described her as “The love child of Angela Davis and Ru-Paul” and she thinks that just about sums it up.
We will have a live viewing at at 2pm ET/1pm CT/12pm MT/11am PT followed by a Q&A at 3pm ET/2pm CT/1pm MT/12pm PT on March 21th. Registered participants can submit their questions ahead of time via this form and receive a recording of the Q&A afterwards whether or not they’re able to attend the live viewing and Q&A.
Registration fees are on a sliding scale, based on your assessment of your ability to pay. The cost is $25 per session. Those who pay at the two highest levels are making a donation to help those in financial need for this event. Please remember that for a sliding scale to work, we need the same number of people with means to generously pay more to balance the needs of those who can afford less. This is how we build the Beloved Community.
Registration sliding scale:
$0 - $10 - $25 - $35 - $50
All are welcome. You do not have to be a minister or a member of the UUMA to register for the events in this series. This event includes about 2 hours of total video content with recommended resources. Speakers are being paid a stipend for their time. UUMA Members can apply for a scholarship.
