At Convening Toward Liberation, our mission is to create a more connected and liberated world through authentic and engaging events that deepen our relationships with each other.

Who We Are

Convening Toward Liberation is a black owned, woman-owned, queer-owned company specializing in intentional gatherings, events, and celebrations. We are actively anti-white supremacy, anti-racist, pro-humanity, and pro-community. In our gatherings, we partner with our clients to share a broader range of stories and amplify marginalized voices. This is our way to promote a just world and advance liberation. We do our work with the intention to create the world we want to inhabit — a world where everyone is considered, seen, welcomed, and cared for, not just in every event or celebration, but also in every aspect of life.
