We hold space - our shared sacred space for us to heal and grow, while nurturing ourselves and each other.As bell hooks reminds us: “One of the most important ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance – places where we know we are not alone.”Here, we do not apologise, explain, or make excuses for who we are. We are most interested in action — the doing for ourselves, because, in the words of Audre Lorde: “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.”This is not simply a conference — it is a celebration, a resistance, and an act of collective self-determination.Vision, Mission & ValuesOur Vision To be leaders in disrupting racial and intersectional narratives across social work, making a meaningful difference to the lives of Black people. Our Mission To be fearless, joyful, and unapologetic while forming a collective resistance. We will nurture and care for each other, interrupt racist narratives, create harmony with our stories, and honour the wonderful lives lived on our path to self-determination. Our ValuesCourage — We lead boldly.Compassion — We honour each other’s humanity.Connection — We foster bonds that sustain resistance.Community — We are a community of resistance.Highlights of the Day?
