Featuring the keynote speaker Sade Musa!

  

Keynote Speaker: Sade Musa (she/her/hers)

Sade Musa is a folk herbalist, wellness educator, and activist who is also a disabled, ill, and neurodivergent mixed-Black cis queer femme. Motivated by her own experiences navigating a deeply racist and sexist medical system, and similarly problematic alternative healing spaces, she is dedicated to helping others advocate for their wellbeing. Sade founded Roots of Resistance — an educational project reclaiming ways of healing disrupted by colonization, challenging narratives invisibilizing Afro-diasporic contributions to medicine, and bringing attention to health disparities and other forms of injustice. Through ROR she offers donation-based and sliding scale herbal classes and remedies, leads plant walks, and donates medicine to various wellness programs.

*UCLA student leaders from the Asian Pacific Coalition, Afrikan Student Union, BlaQue, Kabalikat Kore, MEChA Calmécac, MEChA Gender and Sexuality Coordinator, Transgender UCLA Pride, and the LGBTQ CRC are the humans supporting to make this conference possible.

Note: For the purposes of our campus needs, the planning committee has deliberately decided to update the name to QTBIPOC Conference in order to be explicit about the inclusion and distinct experiences and knowledge shared by Black and Indigenous community members. The QTBIPOC Conference is organized to focus on Black, Indigenous, people of color who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. People of all sexualities and gender identities are welcome to attend. The conference is focused on people on college campuses (students, staff, and faculty). You must be 18+ years old to attend.
