Our Hour: The Power of Our Stories
Wednesday, October 1, 2025
1:00 p.m. Eastern / 10:00 a.m. Pacific
“History is powerful. Our stories are empowering. And telling them ensures none of us are invisible.”
The above quote comes from Elsa Sevilla, host of Historic Places with Elsa Sevilla and author of Camera Ready: From Hardship to the Spotlight. She speaks about and promotes history because she understands how life-changing this knowledge can be. Elsa is a historian on a “mission to uncover forgotten stories about BIPOC and their many contributions.”
Join us Wednesday, October 1 at 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. Eastern / 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Pacific for an opportunity to learn more about Elsa’s story and the methods historians use to recover stories lost to time. Having this knowledge can help us to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Our Hour continues to be a space where open and honest dialogue leads to deeper connection and stronger collaboration, focused on cultivating community through the exchange of ideas. As a reminder, we always set aside time at the beginning of each town hall to share recent professional achievements, industry news, conference experiences, job openings, and available resources. Coming prepared to share your insights will serve as an introduction to our discussion topic.
Our Hour is for people who identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color, biracial or multiracial; this is a camera-on environment to offer connection as well as safety. Sharing this event with other BIPOC-identifying colleagues will assist in growing the Our Hour community.
