2026 Courageous Conversations Conference
Advancing Justice, Healing, and Community Transformation
What began as the South Coast Diversity Conference is growing into something deeper, bolder, and more rooted in community vision.
Courageous Conversations is more than a name change โ itโs 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.
What to Expect
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, joy, and the power of community wisdom
This is a space for everyone ready to show up with open hearts and courageous spirits โ from educators to youth, grassroots leaders to institutional partners, advocates to artists.
