Hi, friend!
What do you get when you combine community, connection, and collaboration? Progress.
This July, 250+ NLC alumni and supporters united in Philadelphia for three days of programming that centered around community care. The Convention’s theme, “Where Stories Become Action,” uplifted the power of sharing our stories to advance progress. Together we discovered that our individual experiences can spark collective change.
If you missed the 2022 NLC Convention, you can read a quick recap on the NLC Newsroom.
After three years apart, we knew this Convention had to be different. We knew that we had to make space to acknowledge the collective tiredness that changemakers share, but also provide collective healing through revitalizing content. Thanks to our presenters and attendees sharing their stories, we were able to find rejuvenation together in Philadelphia.
Convention reminded us that self-care is revolutionary, that living in our full identities is freedom, and that nothing can make us turn away from our calling as changemakers. With the wisdom and connection shared with each other, our movement is energized in our commitment to progress.
