Empowering Black Women to Grow Strategize Advocate Thrive!
We understand the career challenges Black Women may encounter more often than their peers and the impact it can have on their career trajectory.
Why What we do Matters!
We are grounded in cultural awareness and understand that many black women still face systemic barriers such as bias, isolation, and limited access to influential networks that can hinder their visibility and advancement. Though we represent one of the most educated and driven demographics in the workforce, education and ambition alone are not enough to guarantee success. To truly thrive, success requires more than credentials and goes beyond landing a job or earning a higher paycheck. It requires strategic navigation, professional development, and a supportive network that understands the unique experiences of Black women in professional settings.
Strategy & Intention = Power Moves
At Black Career Women’s Network (BCWN), we know your career is more than hard work, it deserves a plan backed by intentional action to address career challenges head-on and help you view your career through a different lens, one that empowers you not just to survive, but to make strategic power moves to grow, lead, advocate for yourself, and create long-term career success to thrive. Regardless of whether you’re just starting out, navigating a transition, or advancing to the next level of leadership.
Stop leaving your career growth to chance. Choose a plan and take action from day one and watch real results unfold.

What black women want most from work
Black women are far less likely to get help navigating organizational politics and balancing work and personal lives, and managers are less likely to promote their accomplishments. Black women with leadership ambitions are particularly interested in paving the way for others and positively impacting company culture.
