The Black Women's Expo
Friday, July 31, 2009 - Chicago, IL
The Expo boasted an exciting array of activities presented over the three-day weekend. A central element to the exposition was the discussion of important issues particularly relevant to the African American community. Considerable care was taken to develop the roster of seminar topics and panel discussions that were presented during the Expo, as well as, the list of nationally recognized speakers invited to share their knowledge and expertise. Historically, our standing –room only seminars have addressed such issues as racial equality, financial independence, spiritual growth, self sufficiency and empowerment, health & nutrition, the welfare of our children and, much more!
