Our History

It all began on Clubhouse.

Black Women Marketers began as a Clubhouse room, quickly spawning 21,000 connections among Black women in marketing. Recognizing the need for a dedicated community, we officially launched our membership on Juneteenth 2021, a date symbolizing freedom and empowerment.

Since our inception, we have been committed to providing our members with unparalleled opportunities for growth and development. We have proudly hosted over 15 professional development workshops, offering invaluable insights and skills to our community. Our membership has grown to over 900 passionate and talented marketers, each contributing to our vibrant network.

In addition to our workshops, we launched the Achievement Awards, an annual event that honors seven outstanding marketers for their exceptional contributions to the industry. This prestigious recognition highlights the incredible talent and dedication within our community.

From our early days on Clubhouse to our ongoing initiatives, Black Women Marketers has remained steadfast in our mission to elevate, educate, and empower. We are excited to continue our journey, creating more opportunities and celebrating the successes of Black women in marketing.
