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 — 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.

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 — from educators to youth, grassroots leaders to institutional partners, advocates to artists.
