Dear BWe family,
There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for the support and encouragement shown by so many throughout this HUGE undertaking that we affectionately call “BWe NEXT Atlanta!”
Thank you to our sponsors (especially Chase Bank, our 2022 Title Sponsor), those small business exhibitors, musical artists, speakers & panelists, my phenomenal team and every single attendee for breathing life into our celebration of the Black woman in all three cities! Because of you, her legacy indeed continues!
I stole a few moments here and there to check out the vendors, pop in on panel discussions and catch some entertainment on the main stage. All I could say was, “WOW! WE DID THAT!”
There’s no doubt that my sister is smiling down on our earnest efforts that manifested into excellent execution. Ruby, we did it!
Again, please accept my heartfelt thanks….and Happy New Year!
Submitted with love,
Creator and Executive Producer
