Araka School
🎯 ARAKA School Presents:
You Don’t Hate Public Speaking You Hate Performing Legitimacy
The #1 Reason People Fear Speaking (That No One Talks About)
Ever wondered why some voices are instantly respected…
while others have to prove themselves three times just to be heard?
Public speaking isn’t just a “skill.”
It’s a performance of credibility shaped by class, culture, accent, identity, and power.
Schools teach you how to sound professional… but never question who decides what “professional” sounds like.
In this eye-opening session, Armstrong Hirwa will unpack:
✅ Why our definition of “good speaking” is biased toward the historically powerful.
✅ How accents, emotion, and storytelling became labeled “unprofessional.”
✅ Why speech anxiety isn’t personal it’s social conditioning.
✅ How to reclaim your voice without flattening your identity.
Expect uncomfortable truths. Cultural context. And a reframing you didn’t know you needed.
If you’ve ever felt judged for how you speak, where you’re from, or how your voice sounds this is your moment to break the script.
