Are you ready to fuel the fire for Black women leaders in our community? The Intentional Leadership Conference is coming, and it’s designed to empower, equip, and elevate women who’ve just stepped into leadership roles—or are ready to claim their space.

This event is the ultimate roadtrip for Black women navigating the twists and turns of leadership in tech, corporate America, finance, or as CEOs. We’re here to provide the tools, inspiration, and sisterhood to ensure no one drives this journey alone.

🎯 Why It Matters:
Leadership can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re the “first” or “only” in the room. This conference is a space where Black women can own their identity, connect with others on the same path, and walk away with actionable strategies to lead with confidence and authenticity.

Hosted by Saturday and Sunday, February 1st and 2nd in the San Diego Made Factory’s Event Space!
