⚡ In this episode, I share with you my awesome experience at the fifth annual Autism in Black Conference—our first in-person conference after years of doing it virtually. Here, I reflect on why Black fathers’ voices and experiences matter and why it should be talked about in the autism community.

➡ The unique challenges and rewards of organizing a major conference.

➡ The emotional impact of the conference on attendees, speakers, and staff alike.
