As Women of Color, we must undergo a transformation when walking into our purpose. It is a journey that every Woman of Color has experienced in the process of “becoming” from Madam C.J. Walker to Michelle Obama.

But how do we know when it’s time for transformation (metamorphosis)?
How do we release the fear, worry, and doubt that arise when stepping into our purpose?
What are the four stages of our metamorphosis?

Metamorphosis refers to a significant transformation or change, particularly in the context of a biological process—such as a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis—or, more broadly, a dramatic shift in appearance, character, or circumstance.

This interactive session invites Women of Color to reflect on the lived experiences that have shaped their leadership. Through a guided journey-mapping activity, participants will explore key milestones, challenges, and moments of growth that define their personal and professional stories.

Too often, our leadership narratives are overlooked or confined to job titles. This session honors the fullness of our journeys recognizing how our lived experiences, resilience, and cultural wisdom have shaped our leadership style and influence.

Participants will create a visual Leadership Journey Map, engage with reflective prompts, and connect with others through storytelling and shared insights. This session fosters community, healing, and empowerment reminding us that our stories are not only valid but vital. As we reflect on where we’ve been, we affirm who we are, and who we’re becoming.

In a world that feels increasingly divided, this presentation highlights the vital importance of unit, not just among diverse communities, but also across industries within the business and economic spheres.

Through the unique perspectives of the presenters, this session will explore how integrating a variety of techniques, approaches, and discipline often viewed as unrelated can foster innovation, resilience, and collective success. The message is clear: for organizations, businesses, and communities to truly thrive in today’s environment, we must embrace cross-collaboration and holistic thinking.

This session introduces a H.E.A.V.E.N.-centered approach as a powerful framework for transformation:
• H – Honesty
• E – Elevation
• A – Advocacy
• V – Vision
• E – Empowerment
• N – Network

By the end of this co-facilitated experience, participants will walk away with a renewed understanding of these principle, and practical insight into how to apply them across professional, organizational, and community settings. This approach empowers attendees to manifest the success they seek in both their careers and personal lives.

Work environments have long been challenging, and at times hostile, for Black women as they navigate job searches, promotions, and performance evaluations. While research has shed light on how Black women create spaces to survive in the workplace, less attention has been given to the role of joy in their professional journeys.

Through transforming workplace praxis, Black women can center joy as a form of resilience and liberation; fostering well-being, long-term success, and a deeper sense of belonging.

Participants will gain insight into the strategies Black women use to build joy-filled, affirming work experiences, and leave with tools to help sustain themselves and others in professional spaces.

This is a space to name what hurts, honor what’s real, and reclaim grace as a form of leadership. We’ll practice the tension between accountability and unearned favor, learning how grace can strengthen our capacity to lead with compassion rather than control.

Mutual aid reminds us that resilience is not an individual act; it’s a shared one.

Together, we’ll imagine what’s possible when we move from extractive systems to ecosystems of care. This is not just soul work; its systems work. Come as you are, and leave rooted, visionary, and whole.
