Did you know that nearly 60% of the members of the Black Panther Party were women—powerful leaders, organizers, and revolutionaries who played a critical role in advancing justice and community empowerment. ✊🏾
Among those revolutionary women was Ellen Tomlinson Carter, a proud member of the Winston-Salem chapter of the Black Panther Party and one of our 12 founders of Swing Phi Swing Social Fellowship, Inc.. Her dedication to liberation, cultural consciousness, and the uplift of Black communities helped shape the spirit and mission of our fellowship.
Sister Ellen’s legacy reminds us that sisterhood, activism, and service go hand in hand. Through her courage and commitment, she helped build a foundation that continues to inspire generations of women to lead, serve, and stand boldly in purpose.
