In April 2023 - The BEE Project partnered with Huston-Tillotson University to present the inaugural Gifted in Color Conference

We gathered for three days on the campus of Austin’s only historically Black institution as we unpacked how power and privilege impact who gets to be brilliant in the United States – and what we can do to change the narrative.

Building an Inclusive Framework in Gifted Education

The Gifted in Color Conference is designed to create a space where educators from across the country who are passionate about meeting the unique needs of gifted and talented students of color can share their experiences, insights, and best practices, as well as engage in meaningful conversations about how to better serve under-represented population.


And just as important as being a space for professional networking and learning - we are also very intentional about creating plenty of wellness, health and just plain fun activations designed to address your wholistic needs.
