The Global Black Women’s Chamber of Commerce, founded by CEO Ambassador Suzan Johnson Cook (Sujay), is the only chamber solely dedicated to Black women business owners and intergenerational wealth creation worldwide. Founded the week before COVID hit, “we found opportunities to pivot and created 25 new Black women distributorships of PPE equipment, partnering with EBW.”
The virtual summit on December 4, 2020 –the first in a four-part series– attracted nearly 1,000 registrants from six countries and12 states. More than 684 people participated on the YouTube livestream, and an additional 300 people have viewed the event since its original showing.
New York State Attorney General Letitia James, Delta Sigma Theta’s Rev. Shavon Arline-Bradley, fifth generation media owner Rev. Toni Draper, and CNBC’s Personal Finance Correspondent Sharon Epperson joined a dozen other leaders and influencers on the various panels moderated by Ambassador Sujay. Black women energetically discussed the business of politics, the business of finance, faith-infused and faith-based businesses, and new and emerging businesses and markets.
The next State of Global Black Women Virtual Summit takes place on Friday, March 19, 2021 for Women’s History Month. Jean Wells, co-founder and editor of The Positive Community, along with women from around the world, will explore Mayors, Millennials Moguls— women of all ages—influencers and leaders in politics, entertainment, and media. —TPC Staff
