NINETY-TWO: Black Women, Labor & the Future of Work
What happens when the women who have carried institutions, sustained communities, and shaped generations begin to reconsider their relationship with work?
Join us at The Branch Museum for an intimate brunch, thought-provoking talkback, and documentary screening featuring Dr. Jade D. Singleton, filmmaker, researcher, and founder of the IKONI Institute, and Tara Jaye Frank, executive producer of Ninety-Two: The Silent Revolt No One Saw Coming, leadership strategist, and author.
Ninety-Two explores the evolving relationship between Black women and labor at a moment of profound social, political, and economic uncertainty. For generations, Black women have been expected to demonstrate extraordinary resilience, shoulder disproportionate responsibility, and lead through systems that have not always valued their contributions or protected their well-being.
But something is changing.
Against a backdrop of shifting workplace expectations, institutional instability, economic uncertainty, and renewed challenges to equity, Black women are asking fundamental questions about the meaning of work, the cost of ambition, and the limits of sacrifice.
The gathering will begin with brunch and an engaging talkback between Singleton and Frank, exploring the historical and contemporary relationship between Black women and work, the changing landscape of leadership, and what this fraught moment may mean for the future of labor, institutions, and economic opportunity.
The conversation will be followed by a screening of Ninety-Two, a documentary examining the quiet but consequential ways Black women are redefining success, reclaiming agency, and reconsidering what they are willing to sacrifice in the name of work.
More than a film screening, this gathering invites us to consider an urgent question: What becomes possible when Black women are no longer willing to carry the weight of systems at the expense of themselves?
