Healing Black Trauma with DR. ALICIA WATKINS - ABNC Part 1 - Ep. 21

Host Steve Ordower had the distinct honor of covering the All Black National Convention, held just outside of Chicago, in Lombard Illinois, in October of this year - 2024. He felt as if he was invited to an important family meeting that was filled with the spirit of love, self-reflection, critical thinking combined with a willingness to have tough conversations, empowerment, and an absolute commitment to the Black Community. Spearheaded by Dr. Boyce Watkins, who created the Black Business School- that provides culturally relevant business education to the Black Community, this convention’s purpose is to chart the course of the future of the black community.

In his words. “By educating our children, building economic independence, and supporting our own, we secure the freedom, success, and spiritual elevation of generations to come.”

“This convention is about taking ownership of our future.”

Over 60 experts from around the world came to share their wisdom over 3 days on topics such as economics, education, health, politics and spirituality.

Part of the pledge of the convention includes to, “uplift, empower and protect my community by committing to educating our children, building generational wealth and defending the village at all costs.”
