BLACK/AFRICAN FEMINISMS CONFERENCE

Restoring the Heart of Leadership: Black African Feminisms and Womanisms in Motion

3rd Biennial Black/African Feminisms Conference 2026

Welcome to a transformative space dedicated to African/Black feminist scholarship, activism, and community leadership.

In a world marked by polycrises, systemic violence, and spiritual dislocation, this conference reclaims leadership as a practice rooted in healing, restoration, and collective liberation. Drawing on ancestral wisdom and Indigenous knowledge, we center African/Black feminist and womanist praxis as vital frameworks for reimagining leadership beyond domination.

This is leadership grounded in:

• Restoration and healing from colonisation and systemic violence

• Political and gender justice through grassroots movements

• Spirituality and relationality as tools for transformation

• Community resistance and collective activism

We invite scholars, activists, artists, and change-makers to contribute to this vital conversation. Whether you're exploring restoration and healing, justice and liberation, or spirituality and community organizing, your voice matters.
