Bringing people together is something that lives on through my workshops and training. Whether they take place online or on-premise, I facilitate workshops and learning experiences that focus on high participation, on learning by doing and verifying that the concepts are integrated. I use Live Online Learning Activities to ensure people get a chance to practice their understanding of the new concepts.

What better way is there to give meaning to what we say than to draw to make our thoughts explicit? When we add visual information to what we’re saying, suddenly our intention becomes much more precise, and we can begin to work on shared understanding. This is why I love bringing people in contact with the power of Visual Thinking, of getting back to our roots and using pen and paper to bring people closer together.

Stories are another option for bringing sensitive topics to the surface, which I recently started to explore through my self-development practice, as well as during numerous Around the world in (less than) 80 days workshops throughout the past years!

Chevron is a gray wolf, gamer, and event host from New Jersey. He works with several VRChat-based convention groups like the Furality Online Xperience, TailBass, Misho's Feeshquarium, Lords of Floof, WaterWolf, Projekt Community, and xCirrex Media to create events and bring people together for fun nights, games, friendship, and great times. He hosts Thursday VRChat Games alongside NoxTheSergal and Scottish Gamer every week (which are often attended with full instances), as well as in-person gatherings monthly. He passionately embraces VRChat and its rave and convention scene, especially with Furnal Equinox, CozyCon, Projekt Community, WaterWolf, and the Furality Online Xperience. You'll find him most often sharing photos on his art galleries to help promote his favorite events and organizations. Furrydelphia, Furnal Equinox, and Anthro New England's first ever VRChat Meet-and-Greets and Intro Panels were co-hosted by TJCoyote, Chief, Chevron, Lilithe Lotor, mBlade, and members of the Fluffy Fur Friends. Motivated by the TailBass and Furality VRChat portals, Chevron is now working to set up VRChat portals and meets at other in-person conventions.

He serves as a Photographer for the Furality Online Xperience, operator for the Operations Department for WaterWolf, Events Host for Projekt Community, and a tournament co-host for xCirrex Media events.

Chevron's love and passion for Furnal Equinox motivated him to cosplay as "Badgie" (Virtual Furnal Equinox 2021's unofficial mascot made of nothing but attendee badges) at the in-person convention in 2022. He reprized his role in-person in 2023 and 2024, and also attends other conventions as "Badgie" who is often referred to as "Attendee Man."

Chevron first attended Furnal Equinox in March 2021 over VRChat. The experience was so enjoyable that he dared to compared his experience at Furnal Equinox to Furality 2000 (November 2020). This motivated him to attend the in-person Furnal Equinox convention for the first time in March 2022. The trip was a first of many for Chevron: His first time in Canada, first time using Lyft, and first time public suiting and marching in a fursuit parade. Chevron has now added Furnal Equinox to his list of yearly attended conventions.

A lifelong player of EVE Online, Mechwarrior, Armed Assault III, Halo, Command & Conquer, and Dance Dance Revolution, Chevron holds a particular appreciation for older games of the late 1990s-early 2000s, such as the first Ghost Recon (2002) and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. His first video game was Mario on the original Game Boy when he was five years old. His admiration of cyberpunk and all things futuristic is on full display with his Illumi Cyberwear LED visor. His fursuit was made by Sarahcat. Outside of the fandom, he works in the IT industry as a cybersecurity administrator and is (jokingly) addicted to Mountain Dew.

Chevron's ultimate goal is to bring people together for fun and great times. He embraces the future with open arms and is eager to dive right into all the fun that can be had together with friends and the fandom.

Billy “Issim” Ramsey is a multiplatform artist, entrepreneur and activist that utilizes arts experiences to catalyze and unify "the village". African-rooted step, acting, directing, hosting/MC, spoken word performance, workshop development and implementation, radio production, vocal and instrumental performer are the several roles Ramsey plays.

Billy is the co-founder and artistic director of Arizona Talking Drum Performance Studio Network, co-founder and artistic director for BlackPoet Ventures, LLC. He holds a Bachelors of Communications/Public Relations from University of Michigan-Dearborn and a lifelong learner in the art of life. He is the owner of newly founded B Spoke Consults, a creative consultation company.

Issim was introduced to early performance opportunities beginning at the age of 10 as a drummer for Phoenix based gospel group The Mighty Voices of Wonder and continued to find spaces for opportunities that have stretched over three decades. HIs ability to segue between local artist and international acts and individuals has blessed him to share stages and spaces with Stevie Wonder, Erika Badu, Musiq Soulchild, Rodney”Darkchild” Jerkins, Father MC, Sistah Souljah, Daniel Bernard Romain, Taalam Acey, LL Cool J, Rosa Parks, Barbara Morrison, Marcus Belgrave, Myron Glasper and others

The art of village building and people bridging has been one of the most unique and rewarding experiences fostering the intention of service to communities and families, including his own 12 children, many of whom are also practitioners and lovers of the arts.

He has worked with organizations such as YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Phoenix Union High School District, State of Arizona, Maricopa Youth Advocacy Program, City of Phoenix, City of Glendale, Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts, AZ MLK Organizing Committee and a list of others.

Billy came to the Fathers and Families Coalition of America in the midst of life trials as the father in need of resources, networks and guidance. He found his way into the work shortly after his introduction as a facilitator, consultant and art maker, bringing awareness to topic matter by involving participants in scripting and producing original theatrical productions where they learned new skill sets of acting and production as well as new ways of expression and creation. Beyond doing, they found their sacred space to share and BE.

He has returned to FFCA Conferences over the years as a presenter, facilitator, artist and attendee.

Most recent works are in the area of Trauma Informed Practices, where he and cohorts have developed and utilized CELEBRATION CIRCLES, to inform participants of all ages about the triggers and onsets of trauma, the biological effects and signs, but most importantly building communities of awareness and resilience.
