Spill The Tea
June 12 @ 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm MDT
Spill the T. – Readings from the 2SLGBTQIA+ Human Library is a partnership between Robertson-Wesley United Church and Kirk Centre, bringing lived experience to the forefront of education on diverse and important topics within the local queer scene.
On Friday June 12, we open the fourth book in the series – on Workplace Inclusion. NDP MLAs Janis Irwin and Brooks Arcand-Paul will explore the topic from their unique positions of employment. Drawing on personal stories and experiences, their sharing will help the audience understand the importance of the inclusion of 2SLGBTQIA+ and other marginalized identities in the workplace, and how best to advocate for such. Bring your curiosity and questions to ask, and stick around after the formal presentations to engage in meaningful small group table conversation and community connection over refreshments.
>ASL interpretation has been secured for this event!! In an effort to make these gatherings as accessible as possible, RWUC is also mobility friendly and neurodiversity sensitive. Reach out to the organizers if you need other accommodations.
Why a human library? A Human Library is an interactive experience where people become the “books,” sharing their lived experiences, knowledge, and personal stories through open conversation. Instead of learning from a presentation, article, or panel alone, participants have the opportunity to sit face-to-face with someone and engage in meaningful dialogue in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
Human Libraries are designed to encourage connection, curiosity, empathy, and understanding. They create space for people to ask questions, hear different perspectives, and learn directly from real-life experiences in a way that feels personal and authentic. The format is informal and conversation-driven, making it easier for participants to connect with speakers and one another on a deeper level.

A Pride Unlike Any Other Event Listing & Graphics Disclaimer PrideEdmonton.ca is a free, unfunded, volunteer-run community listing platform. We do not generate revenue from our services and do not receive funding or grants from community or government sources. All events and accompanying graphics are submitted by independent organizers. Many organizers operate with little or no budget and may use a variety of tools—including AI-assisted design—to create their materials. PrideEdmonton.ca does not create, edit, review, or regulate submitted graphics, nor do we assess how they are produced. Our focus is on ensuring broad visibility of the many Pride events happening across the region. Showcasing this diversity of programming helps build awareness, strengthen community connection, and foster greater understanding and acceptance. Responsibility for all submitted content rests solely with the event organizers. |
