Leading with Pro-Black Values During Change & Transition Panel

This is a free panel offering open to all Black leaders.

Wednesday, June 17, 2026 | 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm Pacific Time

In times of organizational, social, and personal transition, the pressure to assimilate, minimize, or set aside one's values can be immense. This powerful panel brings together leaders, practitioners, and change-makers who have remained rooted in pro-Black values, communal accountability, and a commitment to justice even when the terrain is uncertain. Our panelists will speak candidly about how they have navigated leadership during moments of upheaval — from organizational restructuring and political shifts to cultural reckonings — without abandoning the principles of dignity, equity, and Pro-Blackness that center their work.

What we'll explore

• What it means to lead with pro-Black values — and why it matters more, not less, during change
• Strategies for holding vision and identity in the face of institutional or social pressure
• Building and sustaining community in the middle of uncertainty
• How to invest in people to support the longterm sustainability of our movements
• Practical tools for grounding decisions in equity and justice when the path forward is unclear

This space is for you, Black leader. We honor and acknowledge all the ways you show up as a leader, formally and informally. Whether you're navigating a shifting workplace, a changing community landscape, or a personal crossroad, join us for an honest, grounding, and forward-looking conversation.
