<p>In this episode, we’re celebrating Black women and giving them their flowers as we dive into everything new and exciting at Black Women at Edinburgh (BWE) in 2024. Amanda kicks things off by explaining what it means for BWE to be an official society and how bringing new members into the fold has strengthened our vision. </p> <p>We answer some big questions throughout: Why is creativity so important to Black women? How does BWE support us in chasing non-traditional career paths? What are the challenges and rewards of navigating leadership and creativity as young Black women. We also discuss why it’s so important for BWE to take control of the narrative around Black women, and how <em>Nurtured the Magazine</em> is at the forefront of that mission.</p> <p>To wrap things up, we have an open conversation about the importance of sisterhood. We dive deep into why standing together—especially when facing misogyny and sexual and gender-based violence—is vital. This episode is all about celebrating who we are, lifting each other up, and building a legacy that Black women can be proud of.</p>
