Hey y'all Quintara here with another exciting newsletter. A LOT has been going on the last few months, and it is only right that I share it with you all.
NJABA
I have recently been appointed as the Events Co-Chair on the New Jersey Association for Behavior Analysis (NJABA) Board of Directors. I will be responsible for spearheading conference planning, event planning, among other duties as well. Feel free to check out the other amazing individuals I get to serve with here!
BABACON
From July 19-21, I attended the Black Applied Behavior Analysts Conference (BABACON) in Baltimore, Maryland. It was an exciting experience to be surrounded by other Black professionals in the field of behavior analysis. I had the opportunity to meet many of my social media friends in person, attend insightful talks, and enjoy the Harlem Renaissance Gala.
WIBA
On July 24-26th I attended and presented at the Women in Behavior Analysis (WIBA) Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. I spent one day volunteering because I'm a firm believer of the saying "give and it will come back to you."
After a day of volunteerism, I also attended fabulous talks, including one presented by one of my idols, Portia James.
Later that day, I presented alongside a panel of 5 Black women in ABA. This presentation was groundbreaking because it was the first of its kind and was held in the largest room at the venue. I am so grateful to all the Black women who came to support the talk - thank you!
That same night, I hosted the WIBA Hall of Fame reception with some of my ABA Verzus Team. This was the first in-person event for ABA Verzus, and for sure will not be the last!
Content Creation
In the realm of content creation, I have created a YouTube Channel, The Mystical Analyst, where I vlog my professional experiences and provide up-and-coming BCBAs with tips on navigating independent business ownership.
I continue to also create real and relatable content on Instagram @themysticalanalyst. Follow me!
Upcoming Events
I will be presenting at The BIG Behavior Analytic Tech Conference and Annual Gathering Event in September 2024. Register here!
I will also be working on academic publications and podcast appearances throughout the summer months. Stay tuned!
Remember to be kind, and to always look up at the sky
