2019 marks our 10th anniversary for this ground breaking power list. Politicians dominate this year a Europe voted in 6 black women to the European Parliament.
2. In 2010 the Black Women in Europe™ Blog released its first
Power List naming 58 women across Europe in 6 categories.
This 10th anniversary year we feature 10. The awardees are
in the following categories: Arts, Literature, Philanthropy,
Politics, and Public Figures.
This list, presented in alphabetical order, is intended to
acknowledge powerful black women in Europe and to
inspire others to reach their full potential.
3. What constitutes power?
Power is defined as the ability to act or produce an
effect.
Methodology:
The Power List does not aim to assess rank but
rather to showcase influential women who, in some
cases well known and in others, are women who
should be known.
