CEAD Conference 2022

Please join us as we celebrate our 11th annual Celebrate, Educate, & Appreciate Diversity (CEAD) Conference!

Our core theme this year for the CEAD conference is around healing, creating a space for intentional conversations, and engaging in different conversations around gender identity/sexuality; censorship and discrimination; and unpacking identity and power dynamics.

We are excited to connect with folks in person this year! In order to respect everyone’s comfort level with how they engage with an in-person conference during COVID-19, we have shortened the conference schedule from a full-day to a half-day and will also make the conversations and presentations as accessible as possible by broadcasting it via Zoom. More details will be available as plans are finalized. Please check back often!

CEAD 2022 Keynote Speaker: BUSHRA AMIWALA

The Youngest Muslim Elected in the US

Bushra Amiwala is a Skokie, IL, native and daughter of immigrants who truly appreciates diversity in its many beautiful forms. As communities across our nation – the working poor, religious and ethnic minorities, and young changemakers who are ignored by political establishments – are pushed aside, Bushra is a committed voice for underrepresented citizens. She seeks to ensure that our nation’s future is in good hands by building a compassionate, politically-engaged generation.
