Whenever we go to conferences, we are left with so much information and we have to ask ourselves, "What now?" I have a notebook full of notes and in the past, I'm not sure I've been as intentional to reflect and chart next steps. I'm going to do this differently. Here are the steps and mindset changes I promise for myself after this conference. 1) I went to several sessions on gentrification and the ways in which communities are working to fight back. Listening to people from various cities across the country made me again feel this deep desire to learn from other places. I commit to continue looking for opportunities to be in spaces where I can learn from strategies being used across the country and just listen to stories and perspectives from different people. 2) There was so many sessions about using media. I often don't see myself as technologically savvy (which is layered in identity), but this conference helped me challenge that. I commit to jump into projects that don't seem as instinctually fitting to me but that may challenge me if I try. Podcast, anyone? 3) Writing and media: Two of my favorite sessions were on the role of media in perpetuating oppression. I loved being in a space where I can critically talk about how media helps shape what we do and see. I'm not a journalist, but that doesn't mean I can't create spaces for those conversations. I will search for ways to be more vocal on media injustices, whether that be media or a larger forum. Media commentary isn't only for journalists. 4) Healthy queer communities: This was probably my favorite session. I often don't feel like I fit into certain spaces, but this session just grounded everyone and created deep connections. There was also so much pride in the facilitators and they were all so different. It was a beautiful sight. I challenge myself to find more spaces like this. 5) Storytelling: So much of the weekend was about honest storytelling, which can mean varying things based on who you are. For me, it means trying to be more open about different aspects of my story. Thank you, AMC. See you next year.
