🎧 Listen to this episode of the Inside Black Iowa podcast, hosted by Dana James, with the organizer of the Courageous Access Black Women’s Conference on Oct. 10 in Chicago, Illinois, Courageous Fire, discussing why Black women need this conference.
The Courageous Access Black Women’s Conference (CABWC) is the first iteration of Courageous Access’s efforts to bring Black women from across the country together and encourage collective healing, connection and understanding among one another. The organization is rooted in aiding women who have experienced domestic violence, as well as their children and families. The conference will serve not only to aid women in these situations but also to allow all Black women to find support together. Courageous Fire, founder of Courageous Access and emcee, explains the idea behind the conference.
“Black women always have to be ‘on’,” Fire said. “At this conference, during these 24 hours, don’t be on. Be whatever. Just be,” Fire said. Read more on BlackIowaNews.com.
