POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

BWCA closed out last week with back-to-back power moves.

On Thursday, we hosted Navigating the Hill: Meet the Chiefs featuring three incredible Chiefs of Staff — Angeline Jabbar, Sarah Ghermay, and Whitley O’Neal — who gave us a front-row seat to what leadership, strategy, and grace under pressure really look like on Capitol Hill. This discussion was led by moderator Shelby Talton.

Then on Friday, we flipped the tables with cultural critic and author Alencia Johnson, in partnership with East City Bookshop. Alencia reminded us that we all have the power to challenge the status quo — right where we are. Huge shoutout to our brilliant moderators Javonni Ayers and Aria Austin, who represented the future of leadership with poise and purpose.

Two days. Two unforgettable events. One mission: to uplift, empower, and prepare Black women to lead with confidence and courage — in every room we enter.

A time was truly had with the incredible @alenciajohnson at our intimate Disruptors Lunch, Meet & Greet, and Book Signing on Tuesday! From powerful conversations to shared moments of inspiration, we left feeling energized and ready to Flip the Tables in our own spaces.

Alencia’s USA Today Bestselling book is a must-read for anyone looking to challenge the status quo and redefine influence on their own terms.

A huge thank you to Alencia for pouring into this room of disruptors and change-makers. We can’t wait to dive deeper into her wisdom and put these insights into action!

Such a joy to listen to and learn from Alencia Johnson as she discussed Flip the Tables at @reparations.club in #LosAngeles. She inspired, encouraged, and lightly dragged us, in true @TheBookAcademy fashion.

Wise words from @alenciajohnson

Our ancestors created a playbook of resilience, enduring even harsher times. Now, it’s on us to work, sustain, and act. We must stay vigilant, recognize those working against our interests, and stay informed about our local and state representatives.

State leadership and government are making progress, but we must also invest in our communities.

If you have the resources, support Black-led organizations with both time and resources to strengthen their impact. Have the tough conversations with those around you—challenge misinformation, build awareness, and ensure our collective progress continues.
