We’re excited to welcome Lurie Daniel Favors, Esq. to the 3rd Annual Black Women’s Empowerment Conference at Tufts University! Ms. Daniel Favors started her legal career as an attorney in the New York offices of Proskauer Rose LLP and Manatt Phelps and Phillips, LLP. She later founded Daniel Favors Law  PLLC, a law firm that focused on economic and racial justice. Before completing law school, Ms. Daniel Favors co-founded Sankofa Community Empowerment, Inc., a non-profit organization designed to educate and empower communities of African descent. She later co-founded Breaking the Cycle Consulting Services LLC, which specializes in creating comprehensive professional development for educators, youth education programs and family engagement workshops designed  to address the crisis in urban education through the use of culturally responsive teaching. Ms. Daniel Favors has been busy affecting change. 

This year, our Conference theme and title, Rise, Reawaken, Rediscover: A Black Woman’s Renaissance, seeks to recognize the extraordinary work that Black women achieve with our everyday magic. As a culture, we have entered a Renaissance in which Black women are becoming reacquainted with their power. There’s been a shift. Join us Saturday morning as Ms. Daniel Favors speaks to this idea, as well as answers the question: what does empowerment mean to you and how has its meaning evolved?
