Great event and very informational

I am so happy this is open to staff and faculty!

Loved the speaker and the soup!

Mia is everything!

Thank you Anna!

We have such an amazing staff and staff council! I especially enjoyed learning about the Botanical Garden.

Well run, well attended, good song choices!

Mia Mingus was a great speaker! The conversation she lead was really validating and confirming of my identities and experience here on campus and informative. I hope to see more speakers like here on campus in the future talking about disability, abelism, and being queer people of color.

"Just scratched the surface" -Mia. So true, look forward to much more and hope some of the seeds of wisdom take root with those in attendance and grow to bear fruit and nourish the whole community. It will be a lot of work, and we need to start collecting, sharing, and practicing with tools to make it happen.

Very quick, no wait!
