Come rain or shine, it’s always a great time to uplift Black women! Last Women’s History Month, Converge Media's Chief Storyteller Winfield Ezell Jr. shared powerful and poetic words honoring the incredible Black women that have shaped Converge’s platform and legacy since its inception, and will continue to lead its mission for years to come. 

The strength of Black Women at Converge is a radiant dawn, illuminating the platform’s highest peaks of leadership and its most resonant content. The Queens of Converge, including TraeAnna Holiday, Besa Gordon, Takiyah “TDUB” Ward, and Julia Jessie, are crowned for the deep well of their wisdom, their incredible expertise, and leadership that forges the organization’s resonance and reach. This collective of women is the loom upon which narratives are woven, their voices a central harmony in productions that lift the Black experience and etch a proud legacy into the soul of the Northwest’s Black community. 

Beyond the Queens, the Black women of our communities are the architects of communal soul-healing and allow for the trees of our inspiration to take root. This intention breathes through the platform's celebration of spaces like the WOW Gallery, a pulsating cultural hearth founded by Veronica Very, and the long list of Black women in business that help keep our local economies uplifted and our communities fed, equipped, and inspired for the chapters ahead. 

To all the powerful Black women in our communities, we thank you endlessly for being the radiant pillars we need to progress as a culture, a community, and a world. Women’s History Month might have passed, but every day is a chance to feel the ferocious force of Black women and remind ourselves of their imperative contributions to everything we do.
