Forbes – Yes, Black Professional Conferences Are Deeply Personal And Important, Now More Than Ever
A few years ago, I found myself in a hotel ballroom in Chicago, surrounded by hundreds of sharply dressed strangers whose name tags read like a directory of Black excellence—founders, media executives, engineers, policymakers. The air buzzed with the sound of deals being made between panels, introductions sparking collaborations, and veteran professionals quietly slipping advice to bright-eyed newcomers.
It was my first Black-focused professional conference as a working journalist, and it felt like stepping into a parallel universe where my ambition was not just understood but actively encouraged. In a media landscape that often feels isolating for women who look like me, this was more than networking—it was oxygen.
Now, it feels like that air supply is being cut due to the vicious, concerted, and strategic attack on DEI, which is directly impacting events dedicated to empower the marginalized.
