“Attending the Black Girls Dream Conference is more than just an experience, it’s a life-changing moment, says Chancee Lundy, Executive Director of the Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium. Here, Black girls, femme identifying youth, and women are not only celebrated but empowered to dream without limits. Through powerful workshops, inspiring speakers, and authentic sisterhood, they gain the tools, confidence, and community needed to lead, innovate, and transform their futures. The impact of this conference will ripple far beyond today as we instill hope, a sense of purpose, excellence, and community building that will last for a lifetime. ‘She Got Next’ isn’t just our theme—it’s our declaration that we are actively building the next generation of leaders.”
The 2025 Black Girls Dream Conference will feature a robust lineup of interactive workshops, panel discussions, and presentations from inspirational speakers focused on mental wellness, health, beauty, social justice, financial literacy, STEM, arts and culture, and economic opportunity. All activities are designed to engage participants of all ages—from 12 to 112—in meaningful exploration, learning, and celebration.
Conference highlights will include:
“If you change the life of a Black girl, you change the world,” states LaTosha Brown, visionary founder of Southern Black Girls. “The ‘She Got Next’ conference represents our investment in not just tomorrow’s leaders, but today’s changemakers. We’re creating a powerful ecosystem where Black girls and women can access the resources, mentorship, and community they need to turn their boldest dreams into reality. This is about building a future where Black girls don’t just have a seat at the table—they’re designing, building, and owning the entire room.”
Registration is now open through May 15, 2025. Discounted hotel accommodations at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis are available through May 15, 2025, or until capacity is filled.
