 This year, three of my friends and I are hoping to attend CultureCon, a conference centered on Black creativity, culture, community, and professional growth.

 As we each navigate the beginning of our post-grad careers, CultureCon would give us the <a href="https://cultureconcollective.com/culturecon-2026-festival" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CultureCon2026</a> opportunity to learn from people shaping the industries we hope to grow within, build genuine relationships with other creatives, and gain insight we can carry into our own work.

 I know many of you know me a bit already, but I’d love to introduce all of us more formally!
