A few years ago I was active in an online community known as AfroSpear. It was a group of bloggers of African descent. One of the powerful voices in that AfroSpear community was Adrienne George. She operates a blog called, Black Women In Europe. Over the past three years she has published a list of powerful Black women in Europe to inspire others to reach their full potential.
The 2012 BWIE Power List names 11 women in the following categories: Entertainment, Entrepreneurship, Law, Media, Philanthropy, Politics & Activism and The Arts.
These women are:
- Bola Agbaje (England) - The Arts
- Fatou Bensouda (The Netherlands) - Law
- Natalie Louise Brown (England) - Media
- Baroness Cecile de Massy (Monaco) - Philanthropy
- Doreen Lawrence (England) - Politics and Activism
- Pauline Long (England) - Entertainment
- Loreen (Sweden) - Entertainment
- Mariam Osman Sherifay (Sweden) - Politics & Activism
- Yvonne Thompson (United Kingdom) - Entrepreneurship
- Mirel Wagner (Finland) - Entertainment
- Zuzana Tvaruzkova (Czech Republic) - Media
Feel free to check out the BWIE Power List for 2010 and 2011 as previously reported on this blog!
