As the women of The Black Women Commission and the National Congress of Black Women came together as one for an evening of excellence, they celebrated the victory of other Black Women who won their 2019 election. These women beat every odd that stood before them. Most managed to beat incumbents both black and white males. This evening at the Hawkens Mansion located in Cleveland, OH these women showed a sense of solidarity as they stood firm on Friday, January 24, 2020 with a strong promise to join forces to help move Cuyahoga County forward.
Congratulations Women of Power for you did what many could not; share in the success on one another free of envy, jealousy and spite!
On behalf of the Black Women Commission of Cuyahoga County we salute the Black Woman as well as the National Congress of Black Women for an event well done!
