Each year in March, Woman’s History Month, people world over research the greatest women in history and what they did. Today, we have these great women to learn from and they will become the greatest women in history years from now. These five women this forum chose for 2022, embodies the intrinsic relevancy and importance of our times, which embrace future generations.

Our selections are the first black women to become Vice President of the United States Kamela Harris. The first black, First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. The first Black Woman elected to the United States Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, (D) the Hon. Congresswoman Maxine Walter, an inspiration to us all & a beacon on Capitol Hill, and the first black Woman Commissioner of the New York City Police Department the (NYPD), Keechant Sewell.

Each of these women in their own perspective contributions have conquered galactic hurdles and are precursors of the next generation of black women who will hopefully not have to endure landmines reaching for their goals; and moreover so that their journey will be transparent and effortless. These five women showed us that Black Women have continuously take-on tough jobs and time and time again beat the odds and take down barriers. They showed us that Yes We Can and Yes We Endured. Go on we must because the next generation is always around the corner waiting. Yes, these five deserving women are the examples in history and beacon of light for our children to look up to for inspiration.
History tells us that other bold women in history that have done courageous acts that history should not fold and put aside their influences because they also Parted Oceans, for women to crossover… Bessie Coleman, who moved to France to earn her pilot’s license in 7 months, becoming the First Black woman and native American, to fly planes. And Queen Mary 1, washed the feet of 41 poor women—gave them food, wine and money. Then of the 41, she found the poorest woman and gave her the beautiful gown she was wearing. Courage.

Courage was what these two women muster up. Coleman could not get a pilot’s license in her own country the United States, so she went where she could not only get it but fly. Mary 1, had a sense of obligation to her constituents, she did what she felt she had to do to help and probably set an example to her counter parts.
All these women polished up their courage dust of their foots and aim for the juggler square in the eye and did exactly what they intended to do; break down barriers and climbed that unreachable ladder men have been climbing for centuries and setting precedents for girls to follow.
