6th Annual Strong Black Woman Redefined Conference

The 6th Annual Strong Black Women Redefined Conference is scheduled for Friday, October 10 to Saturday, October 11, 2025 and will take place at the Boston/Dedham Hilton.

Strong Black Woman Redefined is a mental wellness conference hosted by Mindful + Melanated. Designed by a Black woman for Black women, this annual event brings together policymakers, providers, and persons with lived experience to dismantle the damaging cultural construct of the Strong Black Woman.

During this two-day conference we bridge the gap between suffering in silence and seeking support by providing mental wellness education and resources aimed at helping Black women heal.

The theme for this year’s conference is Less Hustle, More Flow: Celebrating Black Girl Day Off.

Testimonials

"Very grateful for this community. It is indeed a safe haven to express how I'm really feeling with other sisters who uplift, listen, and share. Looking forward to the group challenge! I seem to do better with changing habits when I have support. Thank you for creating and cultivating such a needed atmosphere for black woman Regina Renaye."

- LaToya, Patrick Springs, VA

"I love this group because it allows me to express my feelings without being judged. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed with anxiety and I isolate myself to avoid my emotional break down. I know I need to release all the frustration. This group allows me to be myself and that's why I love this group."

- Tameka Fresno, CA

"Since joining Mindful + Melanated I've had the opportunity to really get to know and understand myself a little better. I've always wondered why I do some of the things that I do but never really understood them. This group has really helped me identify some of my tendencies and educated me on how to have a conversation with a mental health professional to get an official diagnosis and/or clarification. Regina Renaye is an amazing facilitator and has a heart bigger than Texas when it comes to helping other women like her."
