A SPACE CREATED FOR US.
A National Gathering Centering Black Lesbians and Black Queer Women
THE BLACK EDUCATED LESBIANS CONFERENCE ℠
More Than a Conference. A Space Built Around Our Lives.
The Black Educated Lesbians Conference℠ is an annual national gathering centering the lives, experiences, voices, health, relationships, leadership, and futures of Black lesbians and Black queer women.
We bring together community members, professionals, educators, advocates, entrepreneurs, facilitators, organizations, and businesses for meaningful conversations, education, resources, connection, and community.
From health and wellness to relationships, sexuality, financial well-being, entrepreneurship, aging, leadership, and legacy, the conference creates space for conversations that are too often separated.
Here, we don't have to choose which part of ourselves enters the room.
