Women of Color Empowerment Conference is so important to building relationships within the sisterhood. Every year, it helps you break down those erroneous notions that we can\u2019t form partnerships, do business with each other and be good for each other – Cathy Hughes<\/em><\/p>\n

The Women of Color Empowerment Institute has hosted many luminaries that spark professional relationships to form and grow. Though it started out representing South Florida women, 2019 marks the ninth year of the Women Of Color Empowerment Conference. Attendance keeps growing in terms of attendees and the stature of national speakers. Given the extra attractions of Fort Lauderdale, it’s a no-brainer decision to attend. It has drawn federal leaders from around the nation, as well as state and local leaders. The conference has been featured on CNN and C-Span. <\/p>\n

Past speakers have included Cathy Hughes of Radio One; Xenon Clayton, the founder of the Trumpet Awards; famous crisis manager and inspiration for the TV show Scandal<\/em>, Judy Smith; Tamron Hall, TV program host, Paula Madison, founder of the Africa Channel; Joy Reid of MSNBC; Congresswoman Donna Edwards; Judge Glenda Hatchett, Gina Paige, founder of African Ancestry; Florida Supreme Court Justice Peggy Quince; and Federal Court Judge J. Michelle Childs, to name a few. <\/p>\n

Past conferences have included panel discussions comprised of female corporate executives, news anchors, election experts, technology experts, and legal scholars. This year, the conference will focus on educating and motivating dynamic Women of Color to lead organizations, effectively engage communities and take full advantage of commercial technology today. <\/p>\n
