Executive Summary

This proposal reimagines the "Black Women Best" ideology, to revive our nation's economy and soul. The Power Reimagined Institute for Black Women Attorneys in Leadership (PRI) will produce knowledge and methods to mentor, coach, and locate Black women attorneys in positions of leadership. Thus, PRI will improve economic, social, and political outcomes for all. PRI is the first comprehensive program established to focus on Black women lawyers' success, to advance America overall. The Institute features a three-part, evidence-based program to accomplish this goal. PRI will empower Black women law students. It will "Egnyte" leadership skills by coaching Black women attorneys for leadership success and equip organizations with tools to elevate Black women lawyers into leadership ranks. Together, the George Washington University Law School, the nation's Black bar association, and the nation's only Black, woman-owned executive coaching firm will transform the gender and color of power in America.
