“Rooted & Rising”
Each of us has a journey to develop our identity based on our educational, cultural, and social experiences. We work on developing ourselves and in turn, we find our own ways to contribute to society and the communities we belong to, as educators, storytellers, helpers, etc. We hope this year’s conference will be an enriching experience for attendees.
