Dear Black Women…A Love Letter for Women's History Month
A truth-telling space.
A space for celebration.
A space for healing.
Almost 50 women gathered in this sacred space, intentionally curated to center the celebration, healing, and honoring of Black women — across generations.
Our Amazing Speakers
We were honored to be joined by an extraordinary group of Black women whose lives, leadership, and advocacy continue to shape communities, movements, and futures.
"What a powerful and beautiful experience.”
“This was so very nourishing for my mind, body, and spirit.”
“So Beautiful and PowHerFull!”
“Being in that room, surrounded by Black women who are leading, building, and showing up with intention in their work and their lives, was grounding in a way that’s hard to fully put into words….It was exactly what I needed.”
“Dear Black Women…” was more than a gathering.
It was a collective exhale.
A love letter—written in real time.
If you missed it, the recording will be available and shared widely soon! Stay tuned...
