Kamora Herrington will serve as keynote speaker for our opening day workshop where she will address the theme "UMatter@Hart" and emphasize the significance of the concept of “mattering and belonging.”

Centers. Kamora’s Cultural Corner provides both a metaphoric and physical space to learn to use the gifts and privileges of our unique and shared identities. Approaching cultural humility through a Black Queer and Afrocentric perspective we create and navigate Brave Spaces with the intention of building and supporting organic community connections.
