ROOTED in Resistance is more than just a conference—it’s a celebration of Black and Brown independent school educators and leaders who are deeply committed to justice, grounded in the understanding that to thrive is to be fueled by love, joy, community, collective strength, and belonging.

Resistance lives in the harmony of voices lifted in solidarity, in truths spoken with unwavering courage, and in the shared dreaming of freedom, nourished not only by struggle but by the warmth of joy.

This is our homeplace. A holistic recharge. A family reunion. It’s a space for deep dialogue, transformative learning, and shared practices that affirm our students through belonging, academic excellence, and the resiliency of our ancestors to nurture leaders for social change.

Welcome home.
