🖤🖤🖤🖤 Being A Black Creative 🖤🖤🖤🖤

☑️ This interactive 45-minute workshop explores what it means to create and consume content as a Black individual in today’s digital landscape. Participants will examine how identity, culture, and lived experience shape the way we tell stories, build brands, and engage with media.

☑️The session will cover strategies for producing authentic, impactful content while navigating representation, visibility, and algorithm-driven platforms. It will also address mindful content consumption—how to critically engage with media, protect mental well-being, and support narratives that reflect and uplift Black voices.

❌❌ Law Enforcement: It Can't Change Without You ❌❌

➡️ Featured Workshop at the 12th Annual Black Student Success Summit ⬅️

➡️April 18th, 2026 Portland State University ⬅️

‼️ This is a MUST SEE event ‼️

🗣️This session challenges the belief that law enforcement “can’t change” by offering an honest, lived perspective from within the profession.
🗣️As a Black woman and active police officer, Rashida Saunders explores the tension between community trust, personal identity, and the realities of the job.
🗣️Students will be invited to think critically about accountability, humanity, and what meaningful change actually requires.
🗣️This is not a surface-level conversation. It is an honest one. Grounded in experience, growth, and the courage to ask better questions about justice, leadership, and community.

🖤🖤🖤🖤 FEATURED WORKSHOP 🖤 12th ANNUAL BSSS 🖤🖤🖤🖤

✅My Identity Ain't Yours To Define!

✅ Everyone has a label for you. Your parents, your teachers, the "algorithm," and "the powers that be". They think they know your story, but they’re reading the wrong book. "My Identity Ain’t Yours to Define" is a high-energy, creative takeover where we use music, visual art, and theatrics to rip up the script and write a new one. This isn't just a workshop; it’s an artistic exploration of who you actually are as we dive into the importance of cultural identity and how we resist erasure of ourselves and our communities.

🖤🩷 Black Women in STEAM 🩷🖤

"While being some of the best innovators in the world, Black women are vastly underrepresented in the STEAM fields. Come talk to women who are among the 2% of Black women working in STEAM and listen to some of the experiences they've had throughout their paths to their current professions."
