Growing and Leading in 2019!
Meet our Advisory Council

Our goal is to increase the reach and impact of BlackFemaleProject. In order to do this, we must position ourselves for large financial investments by officially launching the organization as a fully operational nonprofit corporation.

Leading the way on this work is our distinguished advisory council. Made up of professional Black women from across the country, this group will guide and advise BlackFemaleProject as we move forward.
