“I feel like I've evolving towards a new language to describe the radical love for humanity that I have, and I'm sure that many others have.” - 2019 O&B Conference Attendee
What’s incredible about this conference is being able to think about scholarship alongside a notion of a kind of expansion and love. There’s something I think is really, really important about bringing together the fight for social justice with the inner work of expanding the circle of compassion.” - Dr. Na’ilah Nasir, O&B 2015 Speaker
This was one of the most inspiring events I've ever participated in, professionally and personally. — O&B Summit 2021 Attendee
