The Independent Archivists Section is excited to introduce a hosted monthly speaker series titled "Stretch Goals." Throughout this year long monthly series, we will showcase a number of professionals who are stretching the boundaries of what it means to be an archivist providing archival leadership outside of the traditional bounds of academic, museum, gallery, and government institutions.

About Dominique: Dominique is one part archivist - one part researcher – full parts natural-haired bourbon connoisseur, with a dash of genealogy for taste. After working at universities, libraries, and museums across the country, she came to understand that history is not merely a listing of events in chronological order. But rather, a meticulously curated phenomenon of power. All too often, the stories of marginalized communities are suppressed, oppressed, erased, or forgotten. Dominique's research seeks to help individuals and organizations uplift, honor, and tell stories that represent the lived experiences of diverse voices and the Black diaspora. https://www.thelustercompany.com
