Support Follow Black Women Conference 2019

Safe spaces for black women are critical and rare. Black women need safe spaces to be free from racism and spaces where black women can gather to unpack and release the burdens of living in an oppressive society. We need spaces where we can speak our unfiltered truth and be our unapologetic selves. Black women need spaces for sisterhood, healing and nourishment. Black women need spaces where we can celebrate our Black Girl Magic. We need spaces where we can talk about the complexities and challenges of being black and woman. We need spaces where we can love on each other and be loved. 

That space is the Follow Black Women Conference! 

Catriceology Enterprises, LLC will host the 2nd Annual Follow Black Women Racial Justice Conference in 2019. Conferences like this are rare and revolutionary. 

This is a grassroots endeavor and with this being the second year for the conference we are in need of community support. We are in need of YOUR support. If you believe that black women need and deserve safe healing spaces such as this conference please support this fundraiser.
