It’s our turn.

Created for Black women. By Black women. To celebrate Black women.

Black women,
the floor is yours.

Black Women To Watch is a platform that celebrates Black Women who are power rising through the ranks.

We amplify their voices and stories and most of all — we discredit the myth that finding incredible Black talent is hard to do.

These women run companies, transform industries and are the backbone of our democracy. Some of you may know them. Many of you know their work. These women are the next generation of badassery.

Amazing in their own right, they are distinguished leaders on a mission. And through their leadership, passion, and willingness to help others along the way, we uncover their stories and tips for success.

As our MVP, Kamala Harris said, Black women are “too often overlooked".

Well ladies, we see you and now, they will too.

This is Black Women To Watch.

Stay Tuned.

Meet the founder.

Lauren Legette’s vision behind BWTW was frustration of not being able to find inspirational content about Black women in her peer group.

Most platforms highlight the same (incredibly talented and inspirational) Black women at the peak of their careers.

Lauren realized a need to create space to celebrate Black women who are accelerating their way to the top.

Rather than sit idly waiting for someone else to address the problem, she used leverage. Lauren utilized her resources and passion for driving gender and racial parity to create BWTW.

In 2021, Lauren launched the platform as a recognition platform. The community nominates women deserving of the designation “Black Woman to Watch”. The platform quickly expanded to a podcast after subscribers begged for more insights on the featured women.

Lauren currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her 3 year old Labradoodle puppy, Bear.
