President's Message

As President, I’m honored to serve as the 2024-2026 President of the NCNW St. Petersburg Metropolitan Section to lead our members and support our community in continuing the fight for social justice, economic empowerment & entrepreneurship, health & wellness, and education.

Our challenges may sometimes be significant, but with our collective strength and commitment, we can build on the NCNW legacy and expand our impact in the community. By meeting people where they are, we can ensure that voices of Black women are heard and their families have the resources they need for a better life.

I look forward to working together to create lasting change for future generations. Let’s continue to serve with purpose, unity, and determination to be the change we want to see in our communities as we support women of African descent and their families.

Our Section eagerly welcomes new members with innovative ideas and a willingness to work. We are indeed energized and ready to embark on new ventures that will benefit our community. Qualifications for membership are compassion for others and a commitment to serve.
