“This year marks a milestone in recognizing over 200 amazing and incredible women of over 10 years! Sac Cultural Hub Media Foundation is thrilled to continue honoring the achievements and vast accomplishments of women in the communities of which they serve” said Pleshette Robertson, Founder and CEO of SCHMF.
The 2018 keynote presenter Kimberly Ellis is a nationally recognized progressive leader who has been credited with revolutionizing Democratic politics in California. Most recently, Kimberly was a candidate for Chair of the California Democratic Party in 2016, where she inspired thousands and lit the spark of an ongoing movement for the next generation of progressive activists.
Kimberly will share her experiences and her perspective on how women may approach their varied professional and personal goals and how to improve their communities directly through involvement in the political process.
“Every single aspect of life is political – from the price you pay at the pump for gas to whether or not you have a grocery store in your community that sells fresh fruits and vegetables. It has always been and is even more critical today than ever before that Black folks not just get out and vote, but start running for office (and supporting other Black people running for office) so that we can take our rightful places at decision-making tables where our livelihoods are being decided”, states Kimberly Ellis.
The EWOC conference is an annual tradition. This year SCHMF will honor nineteen women with the EWOC Excellence Awards. See their beautiful photos for all of the 2018 EWOC Honorees posted at http://www.sacculturalhub.com/ewoc/honorees.html
