Merline Saintil, a former Tech COO and Robin Washington, a former CFO, were well-known in the boardrooms of America. During an ordinary phone call between the two women, something extraordinary happened– the movement to create an organization to expand the opportunity and exposure of Black women who can impact America's boards. Black Women on Boards, the now global organization of 200+ members, was conceived at that moment.
The film paints a telling picture of America's corporate boards through the pioneering Patricia Roberts Harris, who became the first Black woman to sit on a board in 1971, and the compelling stories of contemporary Black women who are a part of the BWOB movement. The film unpacks the importance of diversity on corporate boards and how it can benefit businesses and the recently overturned California law, which required minimum requirements for female directors and directors from underrepresented communities on their boards.
