Black Women – Lead, Empower, Aspire, Dedicate (BW – LEAD)
Friday, February 03, 2017
8am - 3pm
University of Denver
The 2nd Annual BW – LEAD Summit
Objective: To address the values of mentorship, identity development,
leadership and academic achievement in the lives of our young Black women.
Purpose: The purpose of BW-LEAD is to provide high school Black
women students with an opportunity to participate in a program that promotes
leadership, academic achievement, and community involvement while developing their
Black woman identity. Black women who are committed to empowering other Black women
to be change agents in their schools, communities and families will lead
engaging and interactive workshops. During the BWLEAD conference, the young
women will learn how sharing their stories and their lived experiences provide
insight into their identity as a Black woman, and what it takes to become a
leader in their personal life, school, and community, while inspiring them to
focus on high academic achievement. Also, during the conference there will be
occasions to share their thoughts and engage in discussions that relate to
their experiences as a Black woman while learning from their peers, college
students and community leaders. In addition, BW-LEAD will support
students in discovering how they can prepare for educational
success in high school, while sharing the value of how they can engage in
college preparation activities that create pathways to higher education.
