National Black Sisters' Conference

Leadership development is a central service. The National Black Sisters' Conference creates leadership curricula, offers mentorship, and builds supportive networks for Black women religious. It also holds an annual assembly and quarterly events featuring worship, dialogue, and strategic planning. Its historical documentation and storytelling initiatives preserve the experiences and legacies of Black nuns, including through video interviews. Technology resources include devices, connectivity, training, and ongoing support. Community programs promote spiritual leadership, social justice, and service across parishes, families, and neighborhoods. Retreats combine prayer, leadership reflection, and wellness with advocacy planning. Founded in 1968, the organization is based in Washington and focuses on Black women religious and the communities they serve.
