The Future of Health and Productivity

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just for labs or tech giants; it’s here to transform our everyday lives.

From managing the demands of family life to unlocking tools that save time and energy, Dr. Barua will show how AI can be an ally in creating a vibrant, sustainable lifestyle.

Yema Ferreira
14:00 – 15:00 | Black Women’s Sanctuary: Redefining Sisterhood for Collective Success
​In this reflective and transformative session, psychotherapist and speaker Yema Ferreira will guide participants in redefining what sisterhood truly means for Black women today. Using powerful questions, small group dynamics, and her signature facilitation style, Yema creates a sanctuary where authentic connection and deep introspection can unfold.
Together, you’ll explore how sisterhood can be a vehicle for both individual empowerment and collective success, a space to dream new systems of Black well-being and thriving, while also reclaiming old ones rooted in tradition and community.
✨ Expect to go deep, connect authentically, and leave with a renewed sense of what it means to rise together.
🔥 Spaces are limited, moments like this don’t come twice. Secure your spot now and be part of the transformation.
Genetics & Mental Health
(Talk & Interaction)
In this thought-provoking session, Dr. Ziada Ayorech unpacks what psychiatric genetics can teach us about mental health — and what it has dangerously overlooked. She’ll reveal how colonial and racialised frameworks shaped research, how pseudoscience continues to influence our ideas of self, and how Black and brown women are not just participants in this work — we are reshaping the very questions being asked.
Through personal stories and interactive dialogue, Dr. Ayorech will illuminate what truly “runs in families” and what does not, affirming the brilliance and resilience in communities too often ignored by science. Together, participants will redefine what collective mental health means — and what it takes to be well, together.
🔥 Spots for this breakout are limited. Don’t miss the chance to challenge old systems, reclaim knowledge, and shape a new vision for mental health.

The M-Word:
Financial Lessons No One Taught Us
Money is more than numbers; it’s about power, freedom, and purpose. In this eye-opening session, Sadia Manirumva will take you beyond the HOW of financial planning and dive into the WHY. Drawing from her own journey and the “200 reasons” exercise that changed her life, Sadia will reveal:
-
How debt steals more than money, it steals your why.
-
Why does money carry emotions unless you take control?
-
Why freedom begins in the soul before it shows in your bank account.
You won’t leave with a checklist of tips, but with a burning WHY that can ignite your journey toward financial freedom.
🔥 This is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Make sure you’re in the room where financial freedom begins.

Grace Iche
14:00 – 15:00
Enclothed Cognition
(Talk & Interaction)
Join designer and stylist Grace Iche for an empowering exploration of the link between fashion, identity, and mental health. In this session, Grace introduces the concept of enclothed cognition, how what we wear doesn’t just express who we are, but actively shapes how we feel and how we show up in the world.
Through storytelling and interactive activities, you’ll discover how clothing can become a tool of resistance, self-affirmation, and connection to heritage. Learn to style yourself intentionally to embody joy, strength, and authenticity every day.
✨ Fashion has power. Don’t just wear it, own it. Join this session and unlock the confidence that was always yours.
