Mother Wit & Uncommon Grace
A weekend for Black Women Leaders
Dates: Friday, September 24, 2021 - Sunday, September 26, 2021.
Location: The Hilton Garden Inn (Emeryville, CA in the San Francisco Bay Area)
You have arrived!!! This is where you can register for an experience that is like no other! Mother Wit and Uncommon Grace (A weekend for Black Women Leaders) is a once in a lifetime event, taking place September 24-26, 2021 in Emeryville, CA (in the San Francisco Bay Area). That weekend, we will gather together for a combination of salons and T-Groups, basking in our mutual skill and wisdom.
The weekend includes opportunities to connect with other powerful Black women, and most importantly, to take time to connect with your Self.
There are few places in our professional lives where we get to fully be ourselves. During this weekend, we shift that, gathering in trusting spaces where we can let our hair down and support each other. An important part of women gathering is when we share our stories, without fear of being judged, critiqued or misunderstood. Without needing to explain.
In this experience that is solely for women of Black African descent, you can have conversations that really matter to you, create community, and do your work without explanation, reflected in the eyes of people who look like you.
Benefits
you get from saying, “Yes” to a weekend of being in circle with other powerful Black women:
If you’ve sat in circle with other powerful Black women, you know how transformative that experience is: being poked, prodded, invited, and encouraged into community, with women with whom you can be fully you. You know the expansion that comes from being with self-empowered women.

About Your Facilitator...
Dr. Kathleen Brown
My professional career took me to relatively high levels of leadership in my particular fields. I am so passionate about Black women leaders that I wrote my master’s thesis on Black women managers surviving and thriving in the midst of organizational chaos. My doctoral dissertation was on 19th-century Black women writers who grew to adulthood enslaved and their journeys to leadership despite the oppression they experienced. At the University of California, San Francisco, I also founded two programs for women: The Women’s Leadership Symposium and Strategies for Success for Women of Color.
I have a long history of leading T-Groups (small group self-awareness and communication training) through the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University and NTL Institute of Applied Behavioral Science and founded T-Groups for people of Black African descent, for Black Women, and for Women of Color. I specialize in facilitating conversations of authenticity, depth, and integrity, that open up new possibilities (both inner and outer) for participants.
My current work centers on Black Women Leaders, self-care, and Black women bringing our full selves to whatever we do.
