What happens when women from different races, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives come together with open hearts and open minds?

We create the kind of community that can change Oakland County.

The Black Women's Roundtable is proud to partner with Red, Wine & Blue and Oakland Forward to create a welcoming space where women can connect, engage in courageous conversations, spark creativity, and build authentic relationships across lines that too often divide us.

This gathering is rooted in self-care, sisterhood, and cross-racial solidarity. It's an opportunity to step away from the noise, invest in meaningful dialogue, and build the trust and camaraderie needed to create lasting change in our communities.

Whether you're looking to make new connections, share your experiences, learn from others, or simply enjoy being in community with incredible women, this event is for you.

We invite women of ALL races, backgrounds, ages, and experiences to join us as we strengthen relationships, celebrate our shared humanity, and build a more connected Oakland County, together.

Because real change happens when we move beyond our differences and invest in each other.

Come as you are. Bring a friend. Leave with a community.

Hosted by Oakland Forward, Red, Wine & Blue, and the Black Women's Roundtable.

Today was a GOOD day.

Black Women’s Roundtable – Metro Detroit showed up for the SisterSong Road to ESSENCE Faith Brunch and baby… SisterSong understood the assignment!

The vibe? Amazing.
The food? Phenomenal.
The message? Crystal clear.

At the intersection of it all, policy, faith, community, justice, you will ALWAYS find women of color leading, building, and holding it all together.

Spaces like this remind us that our work is not just political, it’s personal, it’s spiritual, and it’s rooted in community.

We don’t just show up.
We lead. We pour. We build.

Grateful to be in rooms that see us, center us, and invest in us.

Black Women’s Roundtable – Metro Detroit was proud to be in the building for the SisterSong x ESSENCE Road to ESSENCE: Black Economic Forum, and what a necessary conversation it was.

We showed up to talk about intersectionality, but more importantly, we showed up to affirm a truth we live every day:

Black women do not exist in silos.

We are leaders, caregivers, organizers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and visionaries, often carrying multiple roles at once. And the policies, systems, and movements we engage in must recognize the fullness of who we are.

Spaces like this matter because they:

✔🏾 Center Black women’s voices

✔🏾 Create opportunities to connect across movements

✔🏾 Build power through shared experience and strategy

As BWR, our commitment is to ensure Black women are not only included in the conversation, but leading it.

We are grateful to SisterSong and ESSENCE for creating space to have real dialogue about economic justice, reproductive justice, and community power.

This is how we build.
This is how we lead.
This is how we move forward, together.

Every day in this country, there’s a new reminder, loud or quiet, that we are expected to accept being treated like we matter less than we did yesterday.

Less protected.
Less heard.
Less valued.

And I’m not imagining it. We’re watching policies shift, narratives change, and systems move in ways that make it harder for us to live, to vote, to exist fully and freely.

So when we talk about Black radicalism, understand this: it is not about extremism. It is about survival.

It is about telling the truth when this country tries to rewrite it.

It is about organizing when they try to isolate us.

It is about loving our people out loud in a world that keeps trying to diminish us.

Black radicalism is necessary because “playing by the rules” has never protected us. Respectability has never saved us. Silence has never freed us.

What we’re seeing right now, this is exactly why we organize.

This is why Black women lead. This is why the Black Women’s Roundtable continues to build power, community, and strategy rooted in us.

We are not less.
We are not invisible.
And we are not going anywhere.

While in DC, we had the opportunity to meet our Congresswoman. Congresswoman Tlaib never backs down from a fight.

She listens, offers advice and gives us HOPE!!
