Our official bookiversary was May 5th and we were lucky enough to get to spend it together in Columbus, Ohio where we served as featured trainers at The Ohio State University's National Conference on Diversity, Race & Learning. This year's celebration would not be complete without a live virtual event and an opportunity to engage with you all. We are beyond excited to be joined by some amazing panelists who will help us unpack the happenings of this past year and leave us all with some gems for mental health awareness month .

The event will begin with our personal reflections on the past year. Then we'll hear from our panel of mental health experts, have Q&A, and end with OPTIONAL breakout rooms for small group discussion and networking. We plan to engage with you--the audience, throughout the event.
