Black women in America and throughout the New York tri-state area are helping to redefine New York’s society and the future as it is becoming.
As contemporary trailblazers and tomorrow’s trendsetters, thousands of “power women” are leading New York alongside their male counterparts at every level of leadership – politics, government, executive, business, philanthropy, faith, and community. This dynamic shift is clearly having a transformative impact, and these leading women are influencing outcomes as they raise the bar on service, product, and program delivery and societal perceptions.
This year’s Christian Times Power 15 identifies key Black women in business and philanthropy who are making a big difference in the Big Apple. These women are mothers, daughters, and wives, most of whom have calibrated their impelling lives to efficiently master personal and family activities with their vocational and avocational responsibilities as power leaders tackling challenges and stampeding obstacles as they deliver big wins. In most cases, these women have also shattered glass ceilings and are writing tomorrow’s herstory.
