(Step 3 out of 3)
Please refer to the screenshots you took through this journey to complete the sentence “I have ____ to give and I need ____” and include it in your introduction to the Collective on Slack. It will make it easier for the right people to find you!
Feel free to come back to this toolkit periodically to help with new people.
NEXT STEPS:
1. Download slack on mobile/app,
2. add email,
3. Introduce yourself with this sentence on Introductions Channel. (Example at the bottom of the page ⬇️).
An example intro:
“Hi! I’m Bhoomika Ghaghada, a researcher and writer born, raised, and based in Dubai. My work focuses on structural inequalities and its everyday manifestations in the UAE, and how they enable and challenge the formation of community.
I have book/video/podcast recommendations to give and I need a coffee with a peer mentor.
My recommendations are often UAE-specific so if you’re an artist/writer with work about the UAE, I’m here for you. I’m looking for a peer mentor to talk through a work-in-progress project about roads and road signs in the UAE. If that sounds like you, please feel free to reach out to me on this thread.”
