Me on the Mic - Early 2025

Me speaking at the 2023 NGS Conference in Richmond

Well, this "Renate on the Mic" post, which I started doing a few years ago, started out as just a way of announcing my Black History Month presentations, but has evolved into a somewhat longer list, including speaking engagements that extend beyond that, into the first few months of the year. So, in keeping with this "new" tradition, here's what I have coming up (as of today) for the earliest months of 2025. Links are provided for events that are open to the public.

That's where I'll stop for now. Events are added to my calendar each week, so if you're interested in knowing what I'm doing, the best thing to do is to follow me on Facebook, where I typically announce any public engagements.

Also, many thanks to those of you who follow me around and support my speaking engagements. It means the world to me to see you at my events, whether in-person or virtual, especially when I know some of you have heard me speak a million times. :) I just love the way we support each other in the genealogy community! We are all in this together!

Thanks,                                                                                                                                    Renate
