About Us

Founded by veteran publicist Evan Seymour, Black Women in Entertainment (BWIE) emerges from a 2024 political movement into a lasting hub for connection, creativity, and community service. BWIE is a national networking organization created to support and connect Black women across the entertainment industry — from filmmakers, performers, and writers to photographers, dancers, athletes, and executives.

Our organization celebrates Black excellence and is dedicated in creating an intentional space for connection, growth, and empowerment. Members gain access to networking events, educational workshops, and community service initiatives, including support for mutual aid organizations and grassroots efforts. Through shared resources, mentorship, and collaboration, we foster professional advancement and inspire collective success.
