Introducing: 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

A Conference on 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

What began as the South Coast Diversity Conference is now evolving into something deeper, bolder, and more rooted in community vision.

Courageous Conversations is more than a name change—it’s a renewed commitment to equity, truth-telling, and collective liberation. This annual gathering invites participants to engage in honest dialogue, critical reflection, and collaborative learning grounded in racial justice, cultural humility, and healing-centered engagement.

Together, we will:

• Explore systems of inequity and their impact across our communities

• Hold space for stories of struggle, resilience, and transformation

• Build shared strategies for advancing justice and deepening solidarity

• Center healing, belonging, and the power of community wisdom

This is a space for everyone ready to show up with open hearts and a courageous spirit—from educators to youth, grassroots leaders to institutional partners, advocates to artists.

We invite you to be part of shaping a future that is more just, more compassionate, and more connected.

Welcome to Courageous Conversations. Let’s do the work—together.
