2nd Annual Black Feminism, Womanism and the Politics of Women of Colour in Europe conference

On October 7th, 2017, in Amsterdam, I co-organized the 2nd Annual Black Feminism, Womanism, and the Politics of Women of Colour in Europe conference. This significant event drew 159 attendees from across Europe and North America, including artists, activists, practitioners, and scholars, creating a pivotal platform for dialogue and networking among women of color.

In collaboration with feminist author and professor Awkugo Emejulu, our call for papers received dozens of abstracts with topics ranging from activism and media to politics and the black body. We hosted the one day symposium at OCCII in Amsterdam.

The conference was a resounding success, noted for its breadth of topics and the quality of discourse and connection it facilitated. Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting the event's role in amplifying the voices and experiences of women of color in Europe.
