Rooted in the Bronx · Connected to the diaspora
A wider circle for women with something to build.
APWDI creates room for African professional women to connect, learn from one another, and turn experience into opportunity.
since 2014
01 / The idea
Professional community can be a pathway, not just a network.
From the Bronx to the wider African diaspora, APWDI is a place to exchange knowledge, celebrate lived experience, and make practical room for the next idea.
Build relationships that feel generous, useful, and real.
Share the tools, stories, and confidence that move work forward.
Turn community energy into new possibilities for women and families.
02 / Featured program
A workshop series built around skills, culture, and economic possibility.
Make the recipe. Make the plan. Make it real.
EmpowerHER equips women from ethnic communities in the South Bronx with practical tools for food-based entrepreneurship — from recipe development and food safety to marketing and financial management.
03 / Find your way in
There is more than one way to show up.
