Nzinga's Gathering

Nzinga’s Gathering is an outgrowth of the Collaborative for the Research of Black Women and Girls. The general goal of the Collaborative is to encourage and promote research on Black women and girls. As a research-working group, the Collaborative seeks to engage in critical works that complicate the existing narratives of Black women and girls and that speak to the heterogeneity of these populations on a global scale. Our efforts include hosting an annual symposium that brings together a wide spectrum of participants to examine Black women and girls’ agency as producers of knowledge and agents of change. And organizing a yearlong workshop on developing community action campaigns designed and implemented by Black girls and women.
