The Black Design Leadership Program is dedicated to cultivating, inspiring, connecting, supporting, empowering and equipping designers as they progress along their personal, professional and educational journeys. Through small, carefully curated, group gatherings we provide a safe space for design leaders of similar origin stories to come together and fellowship for a healthier, more inclusive and enriched future.
