“From Birmingham to Broward; Black Women Rise Up!”
On Sunday, February 25th 2018, New Florida Majority climate justice organizer Nancy Metayer joined a Black History Month panel discussion hosted by Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz at the Cultural Community Center in Hallandale Beach. The BHM event, “From Birmingham to Broward; Black Women Rise Up!” centered the stories of black women community leaders and the role that Black women have played and continue to play in shaping our political landscape.
Nancy spoke about the way that climate issues impact communities of color. “Climate issues impact every part of our lives from the water we drink to the air that we breathe. It’s important to connect climate issues to everyday life because it will not only impact our generation but also generations to come,” said Metayer.
Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz opened the event by honoring the Black women in the room including: Dania Beach Mayor Tamara James, the first African-American woman Mayor of Dania Beach – Bobbie Grace, Lauderdale Lakes Mayor Hazelle P. Rogers and members of the all African-American woman commission of Lauderdale Lakes.
The discussion kicked off with a Q&A session with Alabama Congresswoman Terri Sewell.
Sewell also voiced the need for people in positions of power to use their influence to break down barriers for others. “It’s not enough to be the first this and the first that, it’s about breaking down the doors so that others can come in behind me.”
The event ended with a short panel discussion led by Rep. Wasserman Schultz where Nancy joined Dania Beach Mayor Tamara James, Lauderdale Lakes Mayor Hazelle P. Rogers and Rep. Terri Sewell in a conversation about issues that impact Black communities. For Nancy, the opportunity to join these trailblazers on a panel was an honor that she’ll never forget. “It was beautiful to see unapologetically black women on stage in the powerful roles that they play. Young girls will look at them and say: I can do that too.”[2]
