Dear Community,
I would like to provide an update on the upcoming conference. Due to a lower-than-expected number of registrations, I have made several changes to enhance inclusivity and ensure a successful event.
**Conference Name:** The event will now be called the “Black Q***r Women’s Conference” to better represent and include community members who do not identify strictly as Black Le***an. Please note that while the name has changed, the organization’s mission and purpose remain steadfast.
**Dates:** The conference will now take place from September 27th to 29th. This change is to avoid a scheduling conflict with the numerous events occurring in Atlanta during Black Pride weekend.
**T-Shirt Pricing:** The price of conference t-shirts has been adjusted to $40. This increase allows more of the proceeds to support conference expenses.
**Conference Fees:** To encourage attendees to bring friends and family, the conference fee is set at $100 for the first attendee and $50 for each additional guest. To register, please email me or blackeducatedle***[email protected].
I appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate these changes. Despite the challenges, I am confident that these adjustments will create a more inclusive and successful event. In our current climate, unity, and community support are more important than ever.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Best regards,
LaJoya Johnson
