The African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (AACCNJ) Women Who Empower Awards Luncheon: Celebrating Leadership, Excellence, and Impact
On May 14th, I had the honor of speaking alongside some extraordinary women at the Women Who Empower Awards Luncheon, hosted by the The African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (AACCNJ).
As I delivered the closing remarks, I shared a message that I believe is essential to building stronger leaders, organizations, and communities:
“If you have access, widen the entry point. If you have influence, create proximity. If you have insight, transfer it.”
