A Letter From Our CEO

The road of human rights advocacy has been as easy as I would ever wish for, knowing that I have one of the privileged identities in Black American society. The root of Black Women in Charge, Inc. allocates each of our member's privileged identities into sustainable programming and educational resources for the rest of our community.

We identify and engage with nepotism and socioeconomic factors to the maximum extent, building an entirely new table for those that we know were never meant to have a seat on the national scale. Making human rights advocacy and social justice palatable for the majority of our white counterparts has been the most difficult part, but along the way, we have perfected our verbiage and presentation style to suit a diverse plethora of demographics.

"Easy" is not a metric of success for us - "Intense", "Clear", and "Concise" are.

Regards,
