On March 1, over 200 amazing people attended PSE's 2025 All Circles Convening. We were excited to bring together our ecosystem of key community influencers working together to advance racial equity throughout Metropolitan Atlanta and the American South. Needless to say, the convening was an overwhelming success!

Participants were fully engaged in structured and inclusive conversations about racial equity and justice and how to navigate the challenges ahead. Our guest presenters provided both perspectives and new strategies. We highlighted the next generation of great Black entrepreneurs in our Vendor marketplace. The breakout sessions had so many great talks – so much expertise, rich knowledge, and all-around amazing work in our communities. Everyone was open to sharing their experiences, successes, and struggles, making this Convening both meaningful and powerful.

In this time of unprecedented challenge, we should remember the words of Howard Thurman, who charged us to "Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

We extend our sincere thanks to the PSE staff, our participants, speakers, sponsors, vendors, and the staff of the Loudermilk Conference Center for an outstanding experience.
