🚨We are 3 DAYS AWAY from this year's BWOPA Leadership Summit. https://luma.com/33afwk80

This year's Summit will convene Black women leaders, entrepreneurs, movement builders and changemakers in Oakland for two days of empowering sessions, featuring our keynote speakers L. Joy Williams and Dr. Taylor Michelle.

This would not have been possible without our generous friends at Black Elected Officials & Faith Based Leaders of the East Bay. We are grateful for their committment to building the bench of the next generation of leaders.
