We are thrilled to be celebrating the tenth iteration of The 10th Annual Mother Wit Conference and this sacred work and powerful community convening! This year, we invite you explore the transformative power that black women wield and the myriad contributions that they have made to social justice movements and the revolutionary milestones that have transformed the lives of black and brown people in the United States and abroad.
Join us LIVE or VIRTUALLY on Saturday, October 19, 2024 for the 10th Annual Mother Wit Conference from 9:30am to 5:00pm EST at SUNY Downstate (395 Lenox Rd., Brooklyn, NY 11203). Our theme for this monumental occasion is “Womb Wisdom Unbound: Celebrating A Legacy of Reproductive Love & Liberation”. The event promises to be a day filled with thought-provoking dialogue, transformative experiences, and inspiring performances!
Gather with us (in-person or virtually) to honor some of those historical moments and the women behind them. We recognize that the 10 years that we have been doing this sacred work have been bolstered by 3 decades of reproductive justice scholarship, activism and collaborative manifestation. It has also been nourished by the 60 year impact of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the 70 years of Brown vs the Board of Education. Each of these moments in time created a pathway for progress and none of it would have been possible without the trailblazing women of color who were the fuel for their success.
This year, we will focus on remembering, honoring, celebrating and planning for the future of our people. We will pay homage to the “womb wisdom”, courage and unshakable resolve that have been the backbone for BIPOC communities and have directly and indirectly shaped the reproductive justice landscape.
