Black Women in Europe™: Power List 2013 – A List of Our Own©
BWIE™ Power List 2013 - A List of Our Own©
In 2010 the Black Women in Europe™ Blog released its first
Power List.
This year we name 8 women in the following categories:
Design, Leadership, Politics, Social Activism and Society.
This list, presented in alphabetical order is intended to
acknowledge powerful black women in Europe and to
inspire others to reach their full potential.
What constitutes power?

Power is defined as the ability to act
or produce an effect.
Methodology
The list does not aim to assess rank but
rather to showcase influential women
who in some cases are well known and
in others, are up and coming stars.
