✨ About the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.


The National Coalition of 100 Black Women began in the winter of 1970 in New York City, when 24 visionary Black women, led by Edna Beach, began meeting in their homes to address the challenges and opportunities left in the wake of the turbulent 1960s.


From those intimate gatherings, they birthed what became a powerful national movement. Throughout the 1970s, these women worked tirelessly to understand the root causes of issues affecting their families and communities, ultimately becoming a visible force of influence promoting gender and racial equity.


Today, the Fort Worth Metropolitan Chapter carries that mission forward — advocating for leadership development, health, education, and economic empowerment for Black women and girls. Through programs like A Circle of Compassion, they continue to spark dialogue, inspire collaboration, and build a stronger, more equitable future for all.

Tatum, Sr. are calling on community members, leaders, and policymakers to join the movement to build a safer, more compassionate society.

Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...

Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time. In recognition of their extraordinary service, the battalion was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022, the highest civilian ho...
