To Highlight & Our Agenda:

Ravynn + Chinyere will do a deep dive into: 

  • Translating scholarship: 

    • How does Ravynn transform her scholarship (or expertise) in digital humanities, comic & futuristic narratives, and creative non-fiction into digestible content for her audience? 

  • Expanding the conversation: 

    • How does one identify gaps in a niche & contribute new information? 

  • Pitching to publications:

    • While discovering and staying true to one’s voice, what are the keys to finding publications best suited for you?
