We’ve had enough stolen from us.

History. Identity. The stories that should have been our inheritance.
And while we can’t rewrite the past, we can rewrite the future.

This Labor Day, we’re bringing together voices who know how to help you — and your children — reclaim what’s yours: your truth, your pride, and your power.

This is not another dry lecture. This is three hours of energy, clarity, and connection that will leave you with:

✔️ A renewed sense of who you are and where you come from.
✔️ Strategies to help your children walk taller and stand prouder.
✔️ A game plan to turn cultural truth into everyday living.

If you’ve been looking for something that feeds the soul and arms you with tools… this is it.
