Example:
One of the best presentations I’ve seen was a man who discussed the different privileges a person could have. He got his point across by acting as different people who have faced obstacles or bullying due to their identity. It stuck with me because it was a different approach to a presentation and his acting was incredible as well as the realistic scenarios his characters dealt with.
