President’s Message
“In the winter of 1970 in New York City, 24 Black women, led by visionary Edna Beach, began meeting in their homes to assess the problems and opportunities left behind in the wake of the turbulent 1960s. From these meetings, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women was launched on October 24, 1981, with representatives from 14 states and the District of Columbia.” Currently, there are 63 local chapters representing 25 states. https://ncbw.org/
The NCBW Stone Mountain-Lithonia Chapter was chartered on April 4, 2004. Our chapter’s theme for this 2023-2024 chapter year focuses on the acronym S.T.R.O.N.G. – Share, Thrive, Renew, Oneness, Nurture, Growth”. Our members are committed to serving the Stone Mountain-Lithonia community and partnering with the NCBW National Office, local and state leaders, and our local sister chapters of Georgia to promote advocacy initiatives in areas such as Voting Rights, HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, Human Trafficking, Domestic Violence, Health & Nutrition, Entrepreneurship, Financial Literacy, and Educational Literacy.
