This February 2019, in celebration of Black History Month, NBCBLK, the African-American news vertical of NBC News Digital, presents a month-long special feature recognizing the accomplishments, power and prowess of black women.
The series, "She Thrives: Black Women Making History Today," will highlight 10 amazing women you should know from a variety of generations, occupations and regions. These women are leaders in their communities and truly elevating the conversation around black identity, politics and culture.
NBCBLK would love to obtain submissions and suggestions. Once submissions are compiled, editorial members throughout NBC News' broadcast and digital platforms will make the final selections.
How it works:
Tell us in the form below how the woman you wish to nominate is breaking barriers and dismantling stereotypes about what it means to be a Black Woman in America today. Include a link, if relevant.
Selection criteria:
• Honorees are black women who are exceptional, gifted leaders in their industry and profession.
• These women are breaking barriers and smashing stereotypes about the black community/diaspora- redefining what it means to be Black in America.
• Their accomplishments are aligned with NBCBLK's mission: Elevating the conversation on black identity, politics, and culture and giving back through service to communities of color.
