As a librarian of color, JCLC is a place where I\u00a0connect with other librarians of color to talk about issues that are unique to us, including conversations around microagressions, safe spaces and serving people that look like us. I\u00a0also had the opportunity\u00a0to reconnect with library friends that I&#8217;ve made over the course of my career.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Bullet Journaling workshop, I also participated in a three-person panel to discuss the different ways the Spectrum Advisory Committee (SAC), which I currently chair, builds community both in person and online.

When we were accepted, I knew my role at the conference would be to listen and learn from the amazing librarians I would be with and take that information and apply it to make myself a better ally in my work and life. It was an opportunity to meet and learn from so many amazing people in my profession that are working to make libraries &#8211; the place and the profession &#8211; a more open and diverse space.
