In 2010 the Black Women in Europe™ Blog released its first Power List naming 58 women across Europe in 6 categories. For the past three years the list was called down to highlight 5 women. This year the awardees are in the following categories: Arts, Culture, Entrepreneurship, and Politics.
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 Power List does not aim to assess rank but rather to showcase influential women who, in some cases well known and in others, are women who should be known.
