The 2026 Black Women in Food Summit, held April 23–25 in Washington, D.C., tells a bigger story about community, leadership, and the power of collective action to transform the food industry. Under the theme Ascend: Together in Purpose in the Face of Change, the 4th Annual Summit brought together entrepreneurs, industry leaders, advocates, and changemakers to recognize Black women's contributions, confront barriers, and build pathways to greater opportunity.
