Advocating While Black Summit

Description

From Crumbs to Care: Healing • Advocacy • Action The Advocating While Black Summit is a two-day experience for the parents, caregivers, educators, administrators, advocates, service providers, and community leaders who understand that Black children deserve systems that see them clearly, support them fully, and respond to them with dignity. Especially Black neurodivergent children. Centered on Healing, Advocacy, and Action, this summit brings together the people who are often having the same urgent conversations from different sides of the table. Parents are fighting to be heard. Educators are trying to serve children well inside systems that do not always make that easy. Administrators are being called to lead with more clarity, accountability, and cultural understanding. Advocates are helping families turn confusion into strategy. This summit is where those conversations meet. Whether you are a parent navigating IEP meetings, an educator committed to serving students more fully, an administrator shaping school culture, or a community partner invested in equity and care, this summit is designed to give you language, context, strategy, and connection. 

EXPERIENCE LOCATION Get ready for an immersive 2-Day experience!  Day 1 is Unsilenced - a parent-centered listening experience, silent-disco style, where the stories usually whispered, edited, or ignored finally take up space.  Day 2 is the full summit: interactive experiences, powerful conversations, advocacy tools, and shared strategy for parents, educators, administrators, and community leaders.
