february 15-17th, 2024 washington d.c.

In the 6th annual conference, The Sadie Collective aims to celebrate how underrepresented populations have taken matters into their own hands to solve pressing economic and social issues. In the past, the exclusion of Black and Brown people led to harmful outcomes, hindering their economic power. By working collectively, new avenues for wealth and progress emerged. We believe that by telling our own stories and answering questions that matter to us, we can forge a path towards economic empowerment for everyone.
