The National Organization of Black Elected Legislative Women, or NOBEL, held their 2018 legislative conference in Birmingham, which ran June 28- July 1. The four-day-event brought some of the country’s most distinguished women of color to speak on pressing matters that plague the nation.
The theme of this year’s conference was “Creating Leadership Opportunities by Empowering Women and Girls.”
“One of the things that we’ve seen throughout the country, especially the last year to two years is that there has been a strong shift in the women’s movement to empower women, to give women more thought in social justice and all types of social issues and social matters throughout this country,” said state Rep. Juandalynn Givan, D-Birmingham, who serves as this year’s chairperson.
