Over 900 women from across the country convened in Arizona last week for the 2017 Women of Power Summit. Each year, the annual convention provides professional women of color with tools, resources, and information to help them succeed in their finances, careers, and business. This year was no different. The summit theme was “Leveraging the Power of Sisterhood,” and it included informative seminars, giveaways, networking mixers, workout classes, and a star-studded gala.

Here’s a roundup of some of the content and recaps we published at BlackEnterprise.com in wake of the summit.
