This year at our annual Conference we welcome author as a speaker. Oludara (Dara) Adeeyo is a Los Angeles based mental health therapist, author, and social media content creator who is passionate about encouraging people, especially Black women, to face every day with self-confidence and self-love. 

Oludara’s first series of books, published by Adams Media, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, share specific advice and activities designed to help Black women outwardly express their inner joy: Self-Care for Black Women (2022), Affirmations for Black Women: A Journal (2022), Mind, Body, & Soul: A Self-Care Coloring Book for Black Women (2024), and Meditations for Black Women (2025).
