The Rooted Retreat is home away from home from some of the best and baddest speakers globally. We continue to showcase the talent of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color thought leaders in the social sector, in DEIB, in wellbeing, in wealth creation, and more.
This year we are selecting sessions that align with our 4 pillars – wellbeing, financial fortitude, personal development, and professional development. We are looking for fresh ideas and perspectives on how professionals of color and Black women specifically, can thrive in this work.
