DryerBuzz & Co LIVE: Organization Spotlight: Buzz on The Black Women’s Roundtable (BWR)

DryerBuzz & Company presents an Organizational Spotlight Podcast.  With an ongoing initiative to take back our keywords [black women, african american], we try to provide a vehicle to answer the age old question “where do we go from here.”  Too often we hear citizen asks questions about our civic lives as if organizations and associations didn’t exist.  Many orgs are historic and continue to address needs of African Americans every day.  Some are born out of special interest, but for the most part they do exist.

Within the last year or so, at DryerBuzz.com we added a feature section called “Seeing Is Believing.”  That is where we are and if we don’t see we don’t believe – even to our detriment sometimes.  So we’ve continued to run headlines to let the reader know about various organizations.  Occasionally we invite Orgs and Association on the podcast during the Great Debates.

This week we invite for a special inside look to The Black Women’s Roundtable (BWR), an intergenerational civic engagement network of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP). At the forefront of championing just and equitable public policy on behalf of Black women, BWR promotes their health and wellness, economic security, education and global empowerment as key elements for success.

We recently ran a headline where the group responded to the President Obama’s announcement of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.  [Read More]
