Jae Nichelle Speaking Topics

  • Spoken word performance centering Blackness, Mental Health, LGBTQ, or women’s issues

    I can curate a performance set of any length tailored to one of the above topics and others, featuring my notable poems like “Friends With Benefits” and “Afro So Big.” My performance style is interactive, engaging, and thought-provoking. It’s perfect for conferences, breakout groups, and event entertainment.

  • AAVE - History, Appropriation, and Allyship

    African American Vernacular English is heavily stigmatized in “professional” environments. Natural speakers of AAVE have lost jobs, housing, and other opportunities for their dialect while non-Black AAVE appropriators gain opportunities for using it. What is AAVE and what are the real-world implications for bias against AAVE speakers? How can non-AAVE speakers become allies?

    This interactive presentation dives into the importance of respecting all dialects and English speakers in the workplace and outside of it. Participants will leave with concrete ways to be an ally to marginalized speakers and resources to learn more about AAVE.
