We are honored to have Joni as a member and advocate for Nebraska Black Women United! Joni has been great at spreading the word and encouraging others to join Nebraska Black Women United. When asked what advice she would give to other members on how best to get the word out about Nebraska Black Women United, Joni’s advice was “tell everyone that you know at church, work, the salon and anywhere that you go! I reached out to every Black woman at my company and as a result, we now have a much closer connection and network in the workplace!” Joni was even gracious enough to sponsor 10 members to attend the upcoming “Financing Your Future” Event scheduled for 10/31/2021!
