I am deeply inspired by my co-panelists, and it was wonderful to hear how the panel resonated with several in attendance. I hope it leads to continuing discussion. Thanks for including us #ACES2024 organizers!

Thankful for the opportunity to present the panel "Making the Invisible Visible: Editors as Changemakers" with CaTyra Polland, @RedPenRabbit, and Cynthia Williams at the @ACESEditors San Diego conference last week.

Still processing so many excellent takeaways from this year’s @ACESEditors San Diego conference, but at the forefront of my mind is @KarenYin’s statement:

Every time I attend one of our @LGBTQEditors meetings it reminds me why I've dedicated so much time to founding and growing the org. I'm so grateful to our board members, volunteers, and members who are doing the work to build this resource and community!

So happy @ACESEditors accepted our panel "Making the Invisible Visible: Editors as Changemakers" for the 2024 conference. Cynthia Williams, @RedPenRabbit, and @pollandllc have been doing amazing work, and I'm thrilled to collaborate with them.

Yes! This is why I want to start keeping a reading journal again to more fully process what I've been reading.

[Vee White (they/them) @VeeWhiteEdits]

@stephiesque Congrats! That's wonderful, Stephi.

Uncomfortable, high-stakes, or just plain difficult conversations are a fact of life. Sharing negative editorial feedback, giving performance evaluations, or firing someone are all types of discussions we might need to hold as editors. ACES Academy: https://t.co/Od9AKZnZAa
