The Honorary Oscar recipient and Emmy-winning actress is being recognized as one of this year’s Legacy Honorees for her impactful contributions across the business of entertainment. Bassett will be honored before a room of influential women, celebrating more than three decades of her groundbreaking work as an actress, director, and executive producer.
Bassett is joined among this year’s Legacy Honorees by Carla Harris, senior client advisor at Morgan Stanley; Shellye Archambeau, advisor, author, and former CEO of MetricStream; Rosalind ‘Roz’ Brewer, interim president of Spelman College; and Bennie Wiley, director on the boards of BNY Mellon Mutual Funds and CBIZ. Collectively, the honorees are being celebrated for their exceptional leadership and influence across business, the arts, education, government, and other key sectors.
Beyond celebrating Black women leaders, attendees will be energized through dynamic panel discussions, powerful keynotes, and engaging fireside chats. With professional development panels, skills workshops, work-life strategy sessions, meaningful networking, and candid conversations with top industry leaders, the Women of Power Summit is designed to equip women with the tools to grow their careers and drive impact at every level of leadership.
