19 High-Powered Women from Sub-Saharan Africa

Pilots, Prosecutors, Business Owners and more gathered at Spelman College for the expansion of Women's Leaders!

Today, a group of great American women and Sub-Saharan Africa delegation met together at Spelman College to discover the value of Women in Leadership.

We started off the day with lunch in the Spelman cafeteria and the food was simply delicious. In this time of fellowship, networking and forging relationships, the aura in the President's dining room was too fantastic.

The delegation didn't want to leave the lunch, however, we had to leave and head for the delegation to tour the campus of Spelman College as a way to bring full circle how Africa sees the best Black Women's College in the World. And, how to connect the dots of professional women merging thoughts, ideas, trade, skill and more! Amazing day! Amazing day!
