Latasha Gillespie, Cas Sigers-Beedles and Tammy Williams will also receive recognition during a luncheon in Atlanta March 25.
This year’s theme is “Her Mic is On: Black Women Owning the Moment,” which, according to the organization, will pay tribute to the “high-profile moments of powerful speeches and words of wisdom that Black women have given to the world in recent years.”
The Summit was originally launched during Women’s History Month and will return to Atlanta for a full day of expert speakers, panels, master classes, fireside chats and the luncheon where the women will be honored. “We are thrilled to have yet another opportunity to produce the BWFN Summit, thanks to the support of Cvent,” said BWFN board chair Saptosa Foster. “In recent years, we’ve witnessed iconic remarks from women like Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lizzo, Viola Davis, Michelle Obama and countless others. Those moments are part of a rich tradition of wisdom that is the magic of Black women, and we wanted to honor that uniqueness with this year’s Summit theme.
She continued, “Furthermore, there aren’t many places you can go in the film and television industry to network, gain knowledge and access resources all in one space that is created specifically for Black women. The Summit is that space, and we are fortunate to be able to bring it back to Atlanta in person.”
