HR Presenters Day 635.png

Black women, the world over, find themselves ever locked in an intersectionality of Anti-black and patriarchal power as a global framework for subjugation. Black people, and particularly Black women, are tasked with being inconvenienced so that their oppressor is never asked to be. Thus, apologizing is, at best, uncomfortable work because through it, we are met with the truth of ourselves, or at the very least, the reality of how we mistreated somebody else.

This session, however, embraces the idea that Black women’s lives are a mosaic of stories, roles and knowledge: visions, voices, and beings. Thus, they demonstrate the various means by which they can and do contest the ever-changing nature of anti-Black racism and political subjugation, while maintaining sight of Black humanity and Black agency. Black women’s experiences elaborate a tapestry of ideas, behaviors, identities, and critical insights into political, economic, social, spiritual, and cultural spheres, yet they have been represented in a consistent parade of stereotypical images as either dysfuntional, marginalized, and powerless individuals or super strong, angry, and domineering women.

We will present an array of Black women from the USA to Africa to Europe whose visions, voices and beings will engage us in some new and profound ways as they elaborate their personal stories and how they frame and reframe Black women’s agency and  resilience as sites of self-proclamation and resistance in opposition to the stereotypical representations popularized and normalized over the decades through Hollywood images and mainstream institutional discourse. What does apology and atonement look like to them?

“It’s not about supplication; it’s about power. It’s not about asking, it’s about demanding. It’s not about convincing those who are currently in power, it’s about changing the very face of power itself.” — Kimberle Williams Crenshaw

"My service is to lay bare the ongoing impact the African Holocaust has upon you, your business or community to forge a new future.” — Esther Stanford-Xosei)
