Overall, I am a fan of home school conventions.  If you want to know why, take a moment to read A Black Mom's Perspective of Home School Conventions.  With that being said,  I also have my way of navigating such places in which I am a minority with little if any representation on the committee or speaker roster.

My family and I frequent places that will bring value to our lives because of this my husband and I decided early on that we would participate in conferences and activities even if we were the only Black family or not.

The reason I take this stance is because I know that I can always take what I need and leave the rest.  Read "Five Ways I Navigate Homeschool Conventions as a Black Mom"  to see how I make the most of homeschooling conferences
