BECAUSE OF A BLACK WOMAN Mary Robertson

We’re celebrating our 10th Anniversary! Our theme, Because of a Black Woman, acknowledges and expresses gratitude for the icons who’ve inspired us from afar and for the Black women who have invested their time and talents to support the growth of BlackFemaleProject.

Read BlackFemaleProject advisor Debrah Giles’ Because of a Black Woman reflection below.


Who is one of the Black women who's most impacted your personal life and/or career?

Mary Robertson, my great grandmother

What's one of the most memorable lessons or practices she taught you? How do you continue to apply it in your personal and/or professional life?

I’m important and what I say matters.


What advice would you give to a young Black woman or girl trying to find her place in the world?

Do not put limits on yourself. Who you are and what you believe matters.
