I wasn't getting any questions; I was already sensitive, I admit. Then, the panel organizer asked me a question I couldn't understand until I realized he actually wanted to discuss the other Latinx woman's paper. Did we look the same? No. Did we write on the same topic? No.2/6

I felt terrible afterwards and could not shake it. I think had to muster up the energy to go the reception. The conference overall was lovely, one of my favorites I have been to, but that was a moment for an ally. 3/6

At another conference where I was a very ECR, a well-known senior scholar with an abrupt persona asked me a question about the was I was talking about race in my paper. I answered, but not satisfied, she followed up. It was clear I was not understanding what she was asking. 4/6

Sujata Iyengar recognized the disconnect and jumped in with a clarification that allowed me to answer with more polish and grace. THAT was an ally. She did not take the moment away or speak for me. She helped me find a way to speak for myself. 5/6

I share these moments to say that I think it is wonderful how the conversation about allyship is not just relegated to social events but rather extends to how we approach ALL parts of the conference. 6/6
