We appreciate the turnout from the community and the amazing job done by Wazir Jefferson as the moderator and our presenters:​

After the discussion, we had some great questions from the audience (both from those physically present and others attending via our livestream) that were coming from a genuine place of concern and wanting to learn, something we’re very grateful for.
