My story:

Here's how it feels right now. I have so much love for this sector, and so much vision.

But looking at other online conferences, I am so done with the same voices, feeling stale and stagnant.

I want to try something different.

Session 1: KEYNOTE
Kishshana Palmer

No Ways Tired: The Case for Rest, Resilience and Resistance when the journey is long 08:00am PT-9:00am PT (11:00am ET - 12:00pm ET)

Sis, are you tired yet?

It seems like everytime you try to put down the weight of the world, there’s another bag to pick up again.

You resist rest, champion resilience in the face of pain and jump in to the resistance to fight the good fight. What you don’t do is center your care until your mind, body and soul are ill.

So In this talk, Kishshana explores what happens when you prioritize YOU and not the world around you.

Our sector is not fit for purpose: Understanding power, Seeking Accountability, and Organising for Change
9:00am PT-10:15am PT (12:00pm ET - 01:15pm ET)

The charity sector has provided so much aid and support, but the dial rarely shifts. Something isn't working. It's time to move beyond incremental changes - another study, a new way of measuring impact, of community building. Our sector is not fit for purpose. Join me for a provocation on power in our sector and a conversation on how we hold ourselves accountable to ending the injustices we see in the world.

Takeaways
- A reminder of the roots of our sector: it's history and current structures
- Where the power lies in the sector and how that manifests in our behaviours
- What it takes to do things differently and how we take the first step

When the Going gets Weird, the Weird get Going: 1:30pm PT - 2:45pm PT (4:30pm ET - 5:45pm ET)

Creativity is the key to navigating the unknown from a place of empowerment -- it is how we re-envision systems and dream more equitable, just worlds into being.

As this year spins us into greater and greater uncertainty, how do we carve out space to play and innovate in the face of fear, rage and despair? How do we tap into the wonderfully weird, mischievous aspects or ourselves and harness them as powerful allies in the midst of chaos?

In this session, we will:

Break down the concept of “creativity” and why play is one of the most powerful forms of resilience
Cover simple strategies for getting grounded and moving through paralysis
Discuss tools and structures that support creative problem-solving for groups and individuals

The Goodness of Grief
3:00pm PT - 4:15pm PT (6:00pm ET - 7:15pm ET)

During the conference, Kierra will teach us how to find goodness in grief.

Grief is not reserved for mourning the loss of life. We experience grief after the loss of love, relationships, careers, hopes, and dreams.

Challenges during the pandemic have heightened our grief and triggered past traumas.

With the proper tools, we can name our grief, embrace our experience, and develop healthy ways to move forward.
