#SpeakTruth Summit

This conference for women of color by women of color has a three-fold purpose: restorative, constructive, and empowering.

Systems of oppression can leave lasting scars on the mental and physical well- being of women of color. The #SpeakTruth Summit seeks to acknowledge these scars and offer healing and restorative practices. Furthermore, #SpeakTruth recognizes that there is pain in growth. This summit will challenge participants to acknowledge and confront their own biases or oppressive tendencies, in order to empower attendees to be more open, inclusive, and collaborative. Therefore, #SpeakTruth workshops and plenary sessions were designed with a focus on empowering women equipping them with the tools, resources, connections, and knowledge to succeed, not just survive, in their day-to-day lives.
