As Black women take a collective step back from political scenes to reevaluate our roles in the struggle for social justice, we are taking some time to celebrate our empowerment and explore what racial healing means for us.
Join us for a day of joy, love, and rest as we engage in meaningful conversations, enjoy phenomenal performances, and engage in moments of indulgent self-care!
