Dear NCNW IE Section Sisters,
Many of us are living with mixed emotions about the outcome of the 2024 elections, as so many people in our community and across the nation are. I as well am deeply emotional, but as I reflect on the mission of NCNW: To lead, advocate for, and empower women of African descent, their families, and communities through service and leadership, I understand that we must stay focused.
More than ever, we need to come together to remedy the inequities faced by Black Women, strengthen the impact and imprint we have in our communities, and develop an intentional strategy to improve the life of Black women and their families.
This organization is nonpartisan, so whether you're happy, disappointed, or angry, about the outcome of the recent elections it’s time to shift our energy and focus on our mission. I ask that you keep each other lifted up in prayer, check-in on each other to make sure we are taking care of our physical, spiritual, and mental wellness, and let's move forward as a sisterhood with common goals.
The NCNW Inland Empire Section was built on the strength and character of bold women with a united passion to fight for change. They understood the power of a sisterhood of Black Women and today we can be proud of who we are as a section. There are no other NCNW sections in the nation with as many elected officials, educators, entrepreneurs, and businesswomen as the Inland Empire. Our power not only lies in who we are today, but where we came from, and where we are going. We will continue the rich history of Lucy Haynes, Wilmer Amina Carter, and Lois Carson as we re-build our section and strengthen our programs.
So, Sisters, I ask that we re-focus our energy and activate our power to garner change. We have a lot to do, and we need every one of you to be active and ready to work. No more sitting on your God given gifts, it’s time to utilize your talents to expand the reach of NCNW IE and make a vital impact in our communities. It’s what we were built on and it is what we will continue to stand on.
In service,
Amy Malone, President
National Council of Negro Women Inland Empire Section, (NCNWIE)
