Spirit of a Woman 2025 Biennial Celebration and Luncheon

The Greater Baltimore Section of the National Council of Negro Women (GBS-NCNW) is proud to host the 2025 edition of its signature biennial event, "Spirit of a Woman - Mind, Body, and Pocketbook."

Themed "Spirit of a Woman 2025: Mirrors of the Future – Illuminating Paths to Possibility," this year’s event is a powerful platform for empowering and inspiring youth and young adults. With a focus on fostering ambition, resilience, and self-discovery, this event encourages attendees to reflect on their aspirations and take actionable steps toward their goals.

Our 2025 Honorees Include:

• Dr. A. Lois Keith, National Chair - National Council of Negro Women (NCNW)
• Carliss Maddox, President - Greater Baltimore Urban League Guild
• Rachel D. Graham, Arts & Culture Advocate

The program will center on three vital pillars for all ages:

1. Career Empowerment: Through insightful discussions, workshops, and mentorship opportunities, young people will be inspired to pursue and excel in their chosen career paths.
2. Entrepreneurship: Aspiring and emerging entrepreneurs will gain valuable knowledge and tools to launch, sustain, and grow their businesses.
3. Mental Health Awareness: Recognizing the importance of holistic well-being, this event will promote mental health as a cornerstone for achieving personal and professional success.

Participants will hear from influential leaders, experts, and change-makers who will share their experiences, strategies, and visions for a brighter future during a panel discussion led by Alisa Gumbs, VP/Deputy Chief Content Officer of Black Enterprise Magazine.

Join us for a day of inspiration, empowerment, and connection as we illuminate pathways to possibility and create a thriving future for the next generation of leaders and innovators.
