Leadership Empowerment
"You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering
and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas."
The Honorable Shirley Chisholm, (D-NY), Founding President,Â
National Political Congress of Black Women

Leadership Empowerment endeavors to encompass a wide range of key initiatives which focus on preparing women for the political, government, and private sector. Our past projects have included our members participating in the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center's Presidential Justice Forum held on the Campus of Benedict College; the Annual Women's Achievement Summit sponsored by U.S. Senator, The Honorable Mark Warner (D-Va) ; the 2019 Commemoration Event of the 400 Anniversary of Slaves arriving in Virginia; and Voices from the Garden: The Virginia Women’s Monument: The Nation’s First Monument Honoring of Women’s Achievements; and the Black Women's Agenda annual symposiums.
Participated in The National Congress of Black Women's Leadership Conference 2022.   Since our inception, M-RAC has been in the forefront by nominating three Honorees in the past two years including Dr. Janaye Ingram, former director of the Washington, D.C. National Action Network and current Director of National Partnerships at Airbnb; Roslyn Clark Artis, Ph D, JD , President of Benedict College and Maya Wiley, a former MSNBC Legal Analyst who is now a candidate for the position of Mayor of New York City.
Our Leadership Committee is formulating a strategic alliance with the new Virginia State University John Mercer Langston Institute. The goal of the Institute is to build a pipeline of political operatives along with those who are looking to get ahead. The Institute also offers extensive research opportunities for people who want to learn more about Black Leadership.
