What does the Queer People of Color Conference mean to you?
"To me, the QPOC Conference is a place intended to open and expand your mind. At the QPOC conference students experience things from a different view point in hopes of spreading tolerance and understanding; to learn not what makes us different, but what makes us similar."

What does the Queer People of Color Conference mean to you?
"As an ally, this conference means a lot to me because it gives my fellow queer peers a safe space to talk about issues within the queer community. As an ally, sometimes it is difficult for me to understand their experiences; but I love how conferences, such as the QPOCC, give me the opportunity to learn more about the queer community and teach me how I can improve on being a better ally."

What does the Queer People of Color Conference mean to you?
"The Queer People of Color Conference is a major opportunity for me to further expose myself to queer issues, queer life, and new ideas that will challenge my presupposed notions of my constructed gender and sex. It will hopefully help me learn what it means to be an ally and hopefully find inspiration to become a better one."
