It’s been an absolute joy getting to curate this exhibition & I can’t wait for everyone to experience all of the Black print material featured starting February 6, 2024!

@CLIRDLF was an amazing experience! I got to meet so many wonderful people & engage with digital scholarship in ways that I have yet to. Moreover, I truly enjoyed getting to present & collaborate with @kayla_lib! Hope we can work on more projects together in the future!

“You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.”
― Octavia E. Butler
