In 2015 my daughter Taylor, a recent college graduate looking for mentors, challenged me as to why Black women don't provide a support network for each other as other professionals do. After much prayer, I decided to create a network of women who exemplify the character, drive and professionalism that I seek and embody. I now host a quarterly tea in honor of strong Black women of all ages who inspire me and whom I admire.
Strong Black Tea is a get-together where we share successes, challenges, resources, opportunities, and hopes over tea—without the fear of judgement or professional repercussions. I’m honored to create a safe space where we can speak freely, encourage each other through challenges, and celebrate individual accomplishments as a group. It's important to have a community that encourages and holds each other accountable both professionally and personally.
Join me in celebrating a great group of influential women who are making an impact and doing important work. Sign up to cohost a future Tea. Our next gathering will be in September 2017!
