This event will be held ONLINE through ZOOM

Learning from and with women of African descent, this conference will address disparities while also promoting growth and development from a position of strength and abundance rather than limits and scarcity.

Join us for a day of knowledge and information with a particular focus on the growth and development of women of African descent. Through panel discussions and presentations, we will address key issues impacting the wellbeing of women of African descent including:

• Culturally sensitive healthcare
• COVID-19 and its impact on women of color
• Economic inequality
• Emotional health and resiliency
• The role of African Latinas in the Latinx social construct
• The education gaps and how to move forward
• The Muslim Ban and its effect on African communities
• Political involvement to drive positive change

The conference will also provide learning and learning and skill-building opportunities for community members, healthcare professionals, government workers, organizers, and allies seeking to develop authentic relationships with People of Color and Indigenous communities. Over the course of the day, we will honor the strength of our women, families, and communities; address the disparities that exist in Minnesota and the United States; and identify ways that we can promote the lives of women of African descent.
