About this Event
This year, we proudly celebrate our 10th anniversary. Poderoza is a biennial conference held on the first Saturday in March. Founded in 2015 by scholars and community activists Terza Silva Lima-Neves and Aminah Fernandes Pilgrim, Poderoza was created to center, uplift, and celebrate those who identify as Cabo Verdean women. Since the inaugural Poderoza Conference in 2016 at Providence College, the conference has welcomed hundreds of participants from across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Cabo Verde.
