Annual National Black Women's Town Hall

The National Black Women’s Town Hall, Inc. is a non-profit organization created as a think-tank partnership between dedicated women, students, organizations, and educational institutions around the country, designed to convene meaningful meetings, create a national policy club network, and coordinate our efforts.

Student Focus

Our Second Annual NBWTH Meeting at Howard University marked our dedicated effort to engage future female leaders by meeting them where they live and learn; college campuses and middle/high schools. This initiative will serve as the starting point in our efforts to create opportunities for mentorship and leadership development. We will identify, groom, develop, and support African-American women for future political, social, and community leadership while instilling a sense of identity, sisterhood and self-esteem.

Mission

The mission of the NBWTH is to address black women's issues and concerns through dialogue, awareness, advocacy, solution building, and mentorship. The strategy of the NBWTH is to engage in year-round conversations with women of color; from of all ages, backgrounds, and stages in life, culminating in an annual national town hall meeting held at various locations throughout the nation. The NBWTH strives to facilitate conversations that build pride, leadership, and sisterhood by leveraging the experience, expertise, and influence of all generations of black women.
