This celebration will honour prominent persons of the past and powerful activists in our community today who reflect and make up the creative, influential, educated, and brilliant emerging generation of black people. We are excited to welcome for the first time as our keynote speaker, Candies Kotchapaw (Founder of DYLOTT) from our native city of Windsor, ON.

Black Hair Is Professional
Are you a Black parent, caregiver, or guardian? Then this session is for you!
In this session we will reflect on the collective messaging we have received since childhood about beauty and attractiveness, rooted in Western ideals and societal constructs; unpack what those messages mean to us today; and reconcile them with the truth of who we are as Black women.
