For Nakisha M. Lewis (top, left), Dr. Torie Weiston-Serdan, Dominique Morgan, and Joanne N. Smith, "building on what they've been able to carry is the overarching goal. As they shared, their voices were amplified in collective admiration for their served communities and the work they do within them. In their separate efforts, despite their challenges, these leaders have been able to convey a united front in support of Black women and girls of all identities. In the future, they hope for these actions to be mirrored by the rest of the world."
