Women of Color Expo honors and empowers women

YOUNGSTOWN

More than 100 women of all ages came out for a discussion of women’s issues and overall empowerment at the 2012 Women of Color Expo Saturday.

The expo sponsored by Jamz 101.9 has been held annually for the last four years and covers a variety of topics concerning minority women. The expo is divided into a series of panel discussions covering topics such as women in business, relationships, being a single mother, things women say and diversity.

Tiffany “T-Luv” Allen, Jamz radio personality, said the discussion topics were taken from radio and magazine research along with discussions with women in the community about what issues most impact their lives.

“The goal here is to reach out to women in the Youngstown-Warren community, give them a place where they can feel empowered, give them a place where they can talk about issues that they have and then just give them something educational and entertaining to do,” she said.
