Attending WEF isn’t just about representation; it’s about driving systemic change. Syreeta Butler, a licensed psychologist and CEO of Just B. Consulting Group, highlighted the unique role Black women play: “We are the consciousness of the world as Black people, especially as Black women. When we find spaces to disrupt or be in, we understand it’s for the greater good of not just Black people, but the world.”
Mary Stutts, CEO of the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association, added that visibility is key to addressing challenges like workforce shortages: “We need to be visible, vocal, and activate more women of color around women’s health and the workforce.”
