Ifeoma Ike - May 7, 2026

If I Ruled the World...Designing Future Spaces for Ourselves and our Community

Join us for a casual evening of radical imagination with Ifeoma Ike—award-winning founder of strategy and policy firm, Pink Cornrows, and bestselling author of The Equity Mindset. Blending her experiences as a disabled first-generation lawyer, social researcher, and community organizer, Ifeoma will curate a space centering how we navigate rage, faith, and transformative change.

Come design with us! This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required as space is limited.
