Black Women Leadership

You are Invited!

Diva Docs Boston, a professional organization of Black Women Physicians in Massachusetts, led by Philomena Asante MD, MPH, invites you to “A Conversation on Black Women Leadership” with US Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley representing the 7th District of Massachusetts on March 31 at 7pm.

As we celebrate the final day of Women in History Month, we will join two legendary Black Women Physicians, Drs Paula A. Johnson and Gloria E. White-Hammond, for an engaging conversation with Representative Ayanna Pressley about what it is like to be a black woman, wife, and mother in Congress, how she has built a coalition with women of color in Congress with The Squad, her health care, racial and social justice initiatives, and how we can support her and other women in local and national politics. There will also be time for participants to ask the Congresswoman questions.

So, grab a glass of wine, your favorite snack, or a dessert, sit in a comfortable chair, and join us virtually at 7pm on March 31, 2021 for some real talk on Black Women in Leadership.
