Good point. However, is it a known thing that our people are signing up for these conferences? If not, that’s on us. If we’re being barred from participating that’s another story again.https://twitter.com/Lani4Pasifika/status/1263085498811052032 …
Its something to be considered. Don't conferences have organizers generally who reach out to potential speakers tho? If organizers aren't making the effort to be inclusive of islanders, as is the case for ex when that all-American panel spoke on Asian issues in HI, that's them.
