highlights both historic and present racial inequalities relating to the brain. This year, we are sharing facts around disorders that are common in the Black community.

We begin by placing neurological disorders in the wider context of worldwide disability.

Neurological disorders impact nearly half of the world’s population. Diversity and creativity are needed in this space to innovate new and improved solutions.

When we look more closely, we see that there are a number of neurological disorders that disproportionately affect the Black community. We will hear more about this with Dr. Croff during our keynote address.

Did you know that there are risk factors associated with certain disorders? Were you aware of the impact that hearing could have on the brain?

Over 20% of older (70+) Black Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. Understanding the risk factors are an important step towards improving health outcomes in the community.

All too often race is pitted as a biological difference for racial disparities. However, it is the effects of racism that drive these disparities and more research is needed to highlight this.

⏳ celebrates the pioneers who changed neuroscience.
People like Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller and Dr. Alexa Irene Canady remind us that Black excellence has always driven discovery, innovation, and progress.

⏳ reminds us that the future of neuroscience is built on those who came before us.

People like Dr. Mary Logan Reddick and Timnit Gebru remind us that Black innovation has always been at the forefront of discovery.

🧠 Dr. Mary Logan Reddick—a pioneering neuroembryologist, Harvard Ph.D., and educator who broke barriers for Black women in science.
🤖 Timnit Gebru—an AI researcher, co-founder of Black in AI, and founder of the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR), whose work continues to shape conversations around technology, ethics, and equity.

Though their paths were decades apart, both challenged the status quo and expanded what was possible for future generations of Black scientists.

Join us during as we celebrate the pioneers who paved the way and the innovators who continue to redefine what’s next.
