Black Women Lead
June 15 @ 2:00 pm - 7:00 pm

At a time of extraordinary challenges for America, Black women across every field and discipline have been leading us forward. To celebrate their progress and learn from their example, All In Together and our partners will be holding a special celebration on June 15 at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, D.C. The program will explore the importance of Black women’s power and impact in the march toward a more equitable future. The three-hour program will be followed by a special cocktail reception.
