OnlyAnns on Clubhouse

Description

I’m not Beyoncé or a Bon Appetit staff writer or Elon Musk (thank god), I’m Only Ann. Your name doesn’t have to be Ann to join. Of course, you’ll be loved by me even more, unless you’re an Anne with an “e.”

🎉 Join this club to participate in rooms that show the breadth of humanness, our most vulnerable selves, the ways we can show up for one another, and about absolutely anything else. We’ll be talking about the personal and political. We’ll laugh. We’ll be our most chaotic and good selves. Also, if you’ve loved a room I’ve hosted, you’re literally obligated to join. Those are just the clubhouse rules, I swear.

And all I ask is that you are obsessed with me (@annthuynguyen) and are willing to push the ways you think and act and love. You actually don’t have to be obsessed with me, but we should probably be friends and you should befriend everyone who joins this club and you should compliment me sometimes because I enjoy external validation. I’ll reciprocate.
Show people the space is safe, don’t assume it is. : Practice consent. Push others to think harder and share deeper, but recognize the sensitivities of your questions and actions. Seek permission to ask questions that may be a little personal.
Work to center restorative justice.: Question one another’s beliefs, push back, and even call people in for the ways they could be hurtful or perpetuate systemic and personal pain. But do it because you know people can be better.
Stop talking about work.: This place is for community building, not professional networking. Talk about what you love to eat, your weird talent, the mole on your butt, anything but work, PLEASE.
