Moderated by Jeremy Lyman (School Library Media Specialist, Buffalo Public Schools)

Join us for a panel discussion, as Black women librarians share their perspectives on academic, public, school, and prison librarianship. These discussions will reveal their complex and varied lived experiences while navigating a predominantly white profession. Let’s have an open and honest dialogue.

Some interesting topics of discussion include:

What’s in a name? Challenges in applying for jobs

Code-Switching

Imposter Syndrome

Why have we stayed in a profession that doesn’t love us back?

Panelists: Sandra Blackman, Afiya Farrell, Ayodele Ojumu, Taheera Shaheed-Sonubi, and Hadeen Stokes
