Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. Philanthropy Thursday! |

Happy Philanthropy Friday and Black History Month to our Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. Community! |
We hope that everyone is well today and staying warm in this “chilly weather”! Please join us in celebrating “Black History Month”!
Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.

Special shoutout to the beautiful, dynamic, dedicated hard working members of the Westchester Black Women’s Political Caucus (WBWPC). Subomi Macaulay is the proud Countywide president of WBWPC.
The women of the WBWPC work tirelessly each and every day, fighting for equity and inclusion. Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc.’s CEO Kecia Palmer-Cousins is a member of The Greater Peekskill Chapter whereby currently Keturah Hadley is the chapter president.
The Westchester Black Women’s Political Caucus, Inc. (WBWPC), the brainchild of Alice C. Scott and Joan Mosley, was founded in 1976. The founding members were determined to expose and fulfill pivotal roles for black women in Westchester County politics. For over 42 years, the WBWPC has been vital in promoting the inclusion of African Americans; women in particular, in all phases of the political process. The WBWPC is a six-chapter, multi-partisan, political organization with chapters in Greenburgh – White Plains, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Greater Peekskill Area and Yonkers. On Jan 14, 2023, new chapter, the Greater Bedford Chapter, was added to the fold!

The Westchester Black Women’s Political Caucus (WBWPC) project and pursue causes or persons supportive of socio-economics and the political advancement of black women worldwide.
Many of our Caucus members are district leaders, state committee members, convention delegates, appointed commissioners, party chairs as well as community organizers. Since its inception in 1976, the WBWPC has had the distinction of supporting members who have become ‘the first’ as elected officials in Westchester County. These ‘first’ have included county legislators, a comptroller, city/town council members, city/town clerks, majority leaders and most recently the Honorable NYS Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins was re-named the NYS Senate Democratic Conference Leader, the first female legislative conference leader in New York State history.
On January 31st, 2023, approximately 40 fellow WBWPC members and guests including WBWPC President Subomi Macaulay, Kecia, fellow Peekskill Chapter member Beverly Chang, and Dorothy Botsoe (Kecia’s seatmate on the bus), had a great time on a bus trip and tour of the White House. Thanks to all of the members of the WBWPC (White House Tour Committee/Hospitality) and Congressman Jamaal Bowman that organized this educational, engaging and fun bus trip. Food, fun and fellowship. Check out some highlights of our tour.

PHILANTHROPY AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES |

Many minority and women business enterprise entrepreneurs use their local, County and State Agencies to stay current and tap into potential resources and procurement opportunities for their businesses and their ommunities. Getting MWBE Certified and procuring government contracts can help MWBEs build their businesses! Grants, loans, networking, attending training classes, workshops and joining chambers of commerce and professional organizations are also parts of MWBEs portfolios to grow their businesses. We encourage MWBEs to become civically and politically engaged in their communities and the communities that they serve! |

Thank you in advance for your support!!! Pre-order your autographed copy today!!!
My first book "Black Westchester the Origin Story" is also still available!!!

Black Women have been shattering the glass ceilings over and over and over again. In this book I celebrate many of the Black women who made history in Westchester County, New York. While we covered many of these women in Black Westchester the online news magazine and in the pages of our monthly newspaper, I wanted to put as many of them as I could in one book as a celebration of the achievements of African American Women in Westchester.
