​POWERFUL PARENT CONFERENCE
The Powerful Parent Conference is an annual convening of Bay Area families of color. Parenting is often something that is done privately, in our own homes, behind closed doors. With this Conference, we have made it public in order to bring to the foreground the joy and pains, the challenges and healing, the insecurities and the abundance of our collective efforts to make us stronger, more resilient and more vibrant. 

See our 2018 Program & Visual Report

The 3rd Annual Powerful Parent Conference will be held Fall 2020.
