Join us for a Lunch & Learn session exploring how the Color of Wellness™ 8 Learning Goals support health equity through culturally affirming care, clinical trial awareness, and whole-person wellness. This interactive session will offer tools to support informed decision-making, promote early detection, and activate community advocates to drive change—through trust, storytelling, and representation.

As high-achieving Black women, we often find ourselves at the intersection of ambition, care, and cultural expectations—pouring into others while quietly navigating the weight of burnout, chronic stress, and invisible health disparities. This closing Fireside Chat invites us to reimagine what it means to be well: fully, deeply, and on our own terms. In this conversation, you’ll hear from a dynamic panel of wellness professionals who are deeply committed to advancing whole-person wellness for Black women. Together, they’ll share personal and professional reflections on what it means to truly care for yourself and offer tangible insights for reclaiming your well-being. Whether you’re holding space for clients, loved ones, or your community, this conversation will leave you with the tools and encouragement to hold space for yourself—from your cells to your soul.

Economic uncertainty doesn’t have to disrupt your purpose…or your profit. In this session, Dr. Ajita Robinson—grief and trauma therapist, income strategist, and 8-figure entrepreneur—will guide you through building a practice that is not only financially sustainable but deeply impactful. Drawing from over 15 years of experience, she’ll share actionable strategies to help you stabilize your income, diversify your revenue, and lead your practice with confidence—no matter the economic climate. Whether you’re newly licensed or scaling a group practice, this session is your blueprint for building a legacy that lasts.

In this intimate fireside chat, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford is joined by Felicia Pride—TV writer, producer, and founder of HONEY CHILE—for a conversation about the power of reinvention. With a career spanning nearly 25 years across writing, filmmaking, marketing, and media impact, Felicia brings a refreshing perspective on what it means to pursue multiple interests without apology. Together, they’ll explore what it looks like to embrace creative pivots, define success on your own terms, and build a thriving career at any age. Whether you’re in transition, expanding your work as a mental health professional, or wondering if it’s too late to begin again, this session will affirm that growth doesn’t have an expiration date.

As mental health content continues to gain traction online, many therapists are stepping into the world of content creation—but how do we know where to draw the line when professional ethical codes struggle to keep pace with rapidly evolving trends? In this timely conversation, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, licensed psychologist, author, and founder of Therapy for Black Girls, sits down with licensed therapist and trained facilitator, Kenya Crawford, to explore the tensions between clinical boundaries and digital influence. Together, they’ll unpack what therapists need to consider when sharing online, the ethical gray areas that come with visibility, and how to navigate social media in a way that’s both impactful and responsible. Whether you’re creating content now or considering it for the future, this conversation offers thoughtful guidance for showing up with clarity, care, and integrity in the digital space.

As mental health professionals, we’re no strangers to the therapeutic benefits of doing the inner work, but how we care for and present ourselves on the outside matters too. This session explores the powerful connection between personal style, confidence, and professional presence, and how showing up as your full self—both inwardly and outwardly—can enhance the work you do with clients. Join us for a vibrant conversation led by Beverley Andre, LMFT, in conversation with stylist, Germanee G. and makeup artist, Kenya Haynie. Together, they’ll walk through approachable tips (including a live beauty and styling demo!), tools, and routines to help you feel grounded, confident, and fully aligned in your appearance without the pressure of perfection.

In this empowering session, Dr. Donna Oriowo—therapist, speaker, author, and educator—shares how she built a thriving group practice rooted in intention, alignment, and radical self-trust. Grounded in the themes of her latest book Drink Water and Mind Your Business, Dr. Donna will unpack how the basic foundations of self-esteem can affect our professional paths and offer meaningful solutions for Black women navigating a society that was not built with our needs in mind. From the exhaustive tendency of constantly putting others first to the pressure of perfectionism, this session offers both a blueprint and a bold reminder that Black women can build both a life and practice with confidence, clarity, and joy.

As we close out our time together, this facilitated conversation will offer a space for collective reflection and dialogue. Over the past two days, we’ve explored, learned, and connected—but what does it mean to move forward from here? Together, we’ll not only reflect on the summit experience but also check in on the state of Black mental health professionals today—examining the evolving challenges we face, the shifts in our field, and the work needed to continue holding space for ourselves, our clients, and our communities.
