In a year defined by the global rollback of DEI, the rise of anti-inclusion rhetoric, and a political climate that is actively hostile to Black communities — this event creates the space to tell the truth, be heard, and find collective strength.This is a living room, a rally, and a healing space — all in one.Through powerful spoken word, fearless panel discussion, live audience participation, and an emotionally charged keynote, this event holds space for what Black communities are really feeling — and turns raw honesty into purposeful action.What to expect:Spoken word performancesLive anonymous pollingThree dynamic panel discussions responding directly to what the room is feelingGuided audience conversationsA live panel Q&AAn uplifting keynoteWhy you should be there:Because this event will say the things you've been thinking. Because the people in the room will understand. Because you'll leave feeling seen, supported, and equipped — not just to survive this moment, but to reshape it.This is the event that sets the tone for the entire week. Don't watch from the sidelines.Speakers:· (Moderator) — Aggie Yemurai Mutuma· (Moderator) — Bernadette Thompson OBE· Maria Takaendisa· Helen Robinson· Tony Cealey· Dr Taiwo (Dr T Ayodele Ajayi)· (Keynote) — Professor Patrick Vernon OBE· TBC (Spoken Word Artist)  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/acfca710-285b-11f1-b311-a314a771e96d-rimg-w492-h740-dcf8a136-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/ad287200-285b-11f1-aadc-c97dd04cf083-rimg-w925-h740-dceceae8-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/ad609900-285b-11f1-aadc-c97dd04cf083-rimg-w740-h740-dcc1c1be-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/ada25cf0-285b-11f1-a4cd-5d89b9b8e421-rimg-w662-h740-dc161718-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/add21f80-285b-11f1-a4cd-5d89b9b8e421-rimg-w1036-h740-dc181713-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/ae06eb20-285b-11f1-aadc-c97dd04cf083-rimg-w555-h740-dcddddd6-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/ae418320-285b-11f1-b311-a314a771e96d-rimg-w729-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 10:00 AM - 10:10 AMOpening & Welcome to Black Inclusion Week 2026 🕑: 10:10 AM - 10:15 AMSetting the Scene: What's Really Going On? 🕑: 10:15 AM - 10:25 AM Spoken Word / Poetry🕑: 10:25 AM - 10:55 AMPanel Discussion Part 1: "What the Room Is Telling Us" 🕑: 10:55 AM - 11:10 AMConversation With the Audience Part 1: "How Are You Really Feeling?"🕑: 11:10 AM - 11:40 AMPanel Discussion Part 2: "The Weight We're Carrying — At Work & Beyond" 🕑: 11:40 AM - 11:55 AMConversation With Audience Part 2: "Looking After Ourselves & Each Other" 🕑: 11:55 AM - 12:25 PMPanel Discussion Part 3: "Care, Community & What Keeps Us Going" 🕑: 12:25 PM - 12:35 PMSpoken Word / Poetry🕑: 12:35 PM - 12:45 PMGrounding Exercise 🕑: 12:45 PM - 01:30 PMLunch, Networking & Wellbeing Break 🕑: 01:30 PM - 01:35 PMMorning reflection🕑: 01:35 PM - 01:55 PMPanel Q&A: "Your Questions, Their Answers" 🕑: 01:55 PM - 02:10 PMConversation With the Audience 3: "What Will We Do With This?"🕑: 02:10 PM - 02:20 PMKeynote delivered by Professor Patrick Vernon 🕑: 02:20 PM - 02:30 PMClosing: Commitment, Community & Send-Off
