      <image:caption>Per My Email: Reclaiming Power in White Institutional Spaces: This workshop offers Black women in higher education a sacred, affirming space to examine the psychological and emotional toll of navigating predominantly white institutions—where professionalism is often weaponized, visibility is uneven, and presence alone can feel like protest. Grounded in the Lifecycle of Microaggressions Framework™, a four-step model, the session explores how race-related harm accumulates over time and impacts emotional wellbeing, identity, and professional sustainability. Using this framework, participants engage key concepts such as emotional taxation, professional invisibility, and the full life cycle of microaggressions, while accessing language and tools to name harm without self-blame and respond with clarity rather than collapse. Through guided group reflection and somatic practice suggestions, the workshop centers healing as strategy and community as resource, equipping participants to navigate institutional harm while sustaining wellbeing, agency, and belonging.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ambition by Design: How Women Build Influence, Visibility, and Career Mobility in the AI Era In higher education, women are carrying a growing load of visible work, invisible labor, and now a wave of AI and technology on top of it all. This interactive session explores how ambitious women can design their influence, visibility, and career mobility with intention in a tech-shaped academy—while honoring rest and solidarity. We’ll look at how technology is changing what gets seen and rewarded, and introduce an “Ambition by Design” framework focused on revaluing your labor, reading power and coalitions more clearly, and designing real options for the next 2–3 years, with AI as a quiet thinking partner rather than one more demand.</image:caption>
