UNITY 2009 Theme!!!

Howdy! For many of us on the Unity Conference Planning Committee it's an exciting time of the year. We have began meeting to plan the annual Unity Conference scheduled for April 3-5th, 2009. Haley has wrangled in an amazing group of dedicated individuals and we are all excited to plan a cutting edge educational conference. We were able to narrow down a focus for the year and chose to focus our attention back to the south and take a look at gender and sexuality! It’s a broad scope that will include many different workshops that will range from educational, inspirational, to just plain fun as we seek creative ways to discuss sexuality, gender, and their many intersections related to this unique region known as “the south.”

So if I can get a drum roll please the name for the 2009 Unity conference is:

Sweet T: Transgressing, Transforming, and Transcending Gender and Sexuality in the South

That’s right! So I hope y’all hope you will begin making plans to join us as we saddle up our horses and embark on this exciting journey of transgressing society’s binary based gender and sexuality roles to transforming them through education enabling us to transcend beyond labels to connect with other activist as we work to end oppression and demand equality in the south!
