Building Our Future: Love & Solidarity as the Pathway to Justice

Every year Jahajee Sisters' Indo-Caribbean Women's Empowerment Summit brings together hundreds of community members, partners and allies to build connections, exchange learnings and envision solutions to the social justice challenges we see in our communities. For the first time ever, this year's Summit will be a 3-day virtual conference open to all from across the globe to mobilize toward an end to gender injustice in the Indo-Caribbean community and beyond. 

The Summit will consist of plenaries and cultural performances featuring an array of speakers and artists from the US, Canada and the Caribbean. We will also have a wide selection of interactive workshop sessions to attend. See below for an overview of the weekend's activities.
