About CABWC 2026

BE A LEADER IN BLACK WOMEN’S SAFETY, HEALTH, AND COLLECTIVE HEALING

​

The Courageous Access Black Women’s Conference 2026 is a national, culturally-rooted intervention designed to improve measurable outcomes in violence prevention, health, and long-term stability for Black women across the United States.

This is not a traditional conference.

​

It is the national scaling of a model that has already produced results across multiple states and communities.

 

A PROVEN MODEL—NOW SCALING NATIONALLY

 

For the past five years, Courageous Access has been doing this work on the ground—supporting Black women navigating violence, health disparities, and systemic instability.

Our programming has reached communities across over 25 states with a focus in Iowa, Missouri, Texas, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Alabama, and Puerto Rico.

 

This conference is not a new idea.

It is the next-level container for a model that is already working.

 

WHY THIS WORK IS URGENT

 

Across the United States, Black women are disproportionately impacted by:

• Gender-based violence

• Chronic health disparities

• Workforce burnout in frontline service roles

Yet the systems that depend on their labor and leadership often fail to invest in their restoration and long-term stability.

This creates a critical gap—not only for Black women, but for the sustainability of the systems themselves.

 

THIS IS NOT A DONATION

​

THIS IS STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT WITH MEASURABLE IMPACT

 

Organizations partnering with Courageous Access are not passive supporters.

They are aligned with a proven, outcomes-driven model advancing:

• Black women’s health equity

• Violence prevention and long-term safety

• Workforce sustainability and retention

• Culturally-rooted, evidence-informed healing

Your investment supports the expansion of a model already demonstrating results—into a national infrastructure.

 

THE NATIONAL HOMEGOING: CHICAGO 2026

 

In October 2026, we will convene 150+ Black women leaders, survivors, and practitioners in Chicago for a protected, culturally-aligned experience.

​

This space is designed to produce real outcomes in:

• Safety

• Health

• Stability

• Long-term resilience

Participants leave not just inspired—but equipped with tools they actively apply in their lives and communities.

 

WHY SPONSORSHIP MATTERS NOW

 

Despite the proven success of this work, many Black women leaders—especially those in violence prevention, advocacy, and community health—do not have institutional access to spaces that sustain them.

​

Your sponsorship directly funds:

• Access for leaders who would otherwise be unable to attend

• Expansion of a proven healing and prevention model

• Workforce stabilization in high-impact sectors

• National scaling of culturally-specific intervention strategies
