"The presenters were on point for this conference. Also, that it was free for anyone to attend."

"It was so amazing! Even on zoom, there was such a sense of connection and so much learning!!"

"I really enjoyed listening to the keynote speakers. I learned a lot from them especially about the education system and how it was never made for BIPOC."
