The 2025 Black Women in Architecture and Design Brunch Cleveland will take place on September 21, 2025.  This event aims to bring together a small subset of design professionals and students of color in architecture and design to meet, share common experiences, develop partnerships and initiate supportive relationships.  Celebrating Our Stories is this year’s theme.  For the last few years, over 10 cities nationwide have joined together at the same time to see each other and witness a critical mass of black women represented in architecture and design.  This year is no different.  The Virtual+ component will be led by Christian Joosse, founder of The Letters to Ms. 1000.

We are happy to share that Vocon will be our Host Sponsor this year.

Who should attend:

Design professionals (multi- sector), Design enthusiast, Future Designers, students
