Summit of Our Tribes

You’re invited to The AMAAD Institute’s second annual Summit of Our Tribes! The Summit is a two-day conference uniting community leaders and organizations in support of Black LGBTQ+ wellness.

Come participate in creative healing workshops, raise questions for our brilliant panelists, and catch a highlight reel screening of the Crystal Diaries documentary. Stay for a special guest appearance by Congresswoman Maxine Waters!

The conference will be held at the USC Galen Center’s Founders Room over two days:

Thursday, June 29th – from 9 am to 5 pm, followed by an onsite mixer from 5 to 7 pm, and

Friday, June 30th – 9:30 am to 1 pm.

You’ll spend two days in the company of thought icons, medical professionals, political organizers, elders, community advocates, and Black LGBTQ+ cultural icons and legends. And you’ll come away knowing how to:

• Think critically and take action around policies targeting drag and gender expression,

• Speak up about health disparities in the Black and Brown community,

• Live into the joy of allyship,

• Tailor your organization’s practices to honor the experiences of LBTQ+ women,

• Connect with community elders to strengthen our cultural bonds,

• …and much more.
