Anchored by the theme “Black Brilliance in Education, Resistance, and Imagination,” the conference challenges deficit narratives and re-centers Black children’s genius at every turn . Each morning and evening features a powerhouse keynote—from trailblazers such as Dr. Linda Tillman, Dr. David Stovall, Dr. Bettina Love, Dr. Tyrone Howard, and more—while midday sessions dive into topics like curriculum justice, family engagement, leadership for equity, and community-rooted research .  Participants will exchange strategies, build networks, and leave with actionable tools to dismantle anti-Blackness in schools and imagine liberatory futures for Black youth. Whether you are a teacher, scholar, parent, or policymaker, “Not Like Us” invites you to learn, resist, and create alongside a global community committed to transforming education—because thriving Black children transform the world.
