Jo-Carolyn Goode | 9/23/2024, 11:29 a.m.
Mark your calendars for October 13, 2024, because the “Is It Me?” Conference is set to illuminate the vibrant city of Atlanta at the renowned ZuCot Art Gallery. This annual gathering, hosted by My Sister’s Keeper, LLC, invites women of color to engage in vital conversations about authenticity, identity, and the nuanced challenges they encounter in the workplace.
This year’s spotlight shines on the remarkable **Janet M. Stovall**, CDE, a powerhouse in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). With her inspiring TED Talks and dynamic corporate leadership, Stovall has galvanized audiences worldwide to confront systemic racism and bias head-on. As the head of DEI at The NeuroLeadership Institute, she will share invaluable insights on how women of color can reclaim their authenticity in predominantly white or male-dominated environments.
A Safe Haven for Dialogue and Growth
The “Is It Me?” Conference is more than just an event; it’s a nurturing space where women of color can reflect on their journeys, share experiences, and develop actionable strategies to confidently navigate complex workplace cultures. “We created this conference to give women of color a platform to explore their experiences in a space where they feel seen and heard,” says organizer Stevenson-Wright. This year’s theme of authenticity strikes a resonant chord, addressing the struggle to remain true to oneself amid bias and systemic inequities.
Set against the backdrop of the ZuCot Art Gallery—one of the largest African American art galleries in the Southeast—attendees will find themselves immersed in an environment that celebrates identity and empowerment. The gallery, renowned for its powerful exhibitions, will echo the themes of community and resilience, making it the perfect venue for this important dialogue.
