This in-person and virtual summit is more than a gathering. It's a space for real conversation, real solutions, and real action.
About this Event

For year 3 of the Summit, we're going hybrid, uniting changemakers across the nation.

Experience three days of inspiration, networking, and growth as we explore:

  • The Future of Belonging
  • Finding & Strengthening Community
  • Building Economic Power
  • Wellness & Joy as Resistance

Whether you're in Boston or joining virtually, Boston While Black is leading the conversation on what true belonging looks like—and how we build it together.

For the past five years, Boston While Black has been at the forefront of creating spaces where belonging, culture, and community thrive. This year’s Summit will feature powerful speakers, interactive sessions, and dynamic networking.

Whether you're navigating Boston, growing your career, building a business, or looking for a community where you truly belong, this Summit is for you.
