Unapologetically Black (In Person)

In celebration of Black History Month 2026, Unapologetically Black will bring together key community leaders to discuss the intersection of voting rights, civil rights, and cultural visibility as we move into a pivotal election year. Panelists will address how Black communities can reclaim their political power, advocate for equity in education and DEI, and take actionable steps to preserve Black history and increase visibility in leadership. The event aims to educate, empower, and mobilize audiences to protect their rights, vote unapologetically, and amplify their voices.
