#CC16 has officially begun for me! This conference has a special place in my heart. I remember attending the 2012 conference in Baltimore. It was my first one and I was in the midst of learning more about others, myself, my Blackness/my Queerness, and what that meant within the LGBT*Q+ community. I don't want to get too into detail, but this conference was a transformative and liberating experience for me. I was fortunate to have shared it with individuals who did not take up space and only added to my learned by experience. And I will never forget it...or them. If you haven't been to the Creating Change Conference, get there. And to the folks who are joining me this weekend HAPPY CREATING CHANGE! Be present. Learn. Grow.
