With compelling messages and engaging discussions, NAN 2023 was a resounding success, leaving attendees motivated and empowered to continue the ongoing struggle for justice, equality, and empowerment for black communities around the world. Many first-time attendees found solace in a world where their worries melted away and hope was restored through new bonds and bridges formed among people of African descent and their allies. The eclectic lineup of speakers and panels brought their A-game, covering a wide range of topics including social justice, immigration, bridging the diaspora, economic empowerment, and politics, leaving no stone unturned. Suffice it to say, all left the convention with a vow to attend the next one, which is expected to be equally compelling, if not better.
