Welcome to the Pan-African Women Network of the Americas (PAWNA)—a movement dedicated to amplifying the voices, leadership, and aspirations of African and African-descendant women across the Americas.
We are an inclusive and dynamic platform fostering gender equity, economic empowerment, and leadership opportunities for African women and women of African descent in North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
We are a collective of dreamers, doers, and leaders committed to building equity for African women in the Americas.
Voices That Lead, Stories That Inspire
Every woman carries a story. At PAWNA, we amplify those stories into powerful voices that demand change, spark innovation, and inspire generations. Here, women rise as leaders and changemakers, rewriting the narrative for the future.
Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges
Challenges are not the end—they are beginnings. PAWNA transforms obstacles into stepping stones, creating bridges to opportunity, empowerment, and leadership for African women everywhere. With every step forward, we create lasting impact.
A Movement for Generations
Our work is not just for today—it’s for the daughters and granddaughters of tomorrow. PAWNA nurtures leadership, fosters equity, and builds communities where African women thrive, ensuring our legacy endures across generations.
