2. In 2010 the Black Women in Europe™ Blog released its first
Power List naming 58 women across Europe in 6 categories.
This 16th year we feature 5 outstanding women, as we
celebrate 15 years of the Blog.
2022 awardees are in the following categories:
Entrepreneurship, The Arts, Culture & Community, and
Human Rights.
This list, presented in alphabetical order, is intended to
acknowledge powerful black women in Europe and to
inspire others to reach their full potential.
3. What constitutes power?
Power is defined as the ability to act or produce an
effect.
Methodology:
The Power List does not aim to assess rank but
rather to showcase influential women who, in some
cases well known and in others, are women who
should be known.
