"For whatever your issue is, whether it's healthcare, whether it's education--democracy needs to be your second issue because we live in a republic where there are people making decisions for you." – Kayla S. Griffin Green, Esq., MPA

What does accountability in healthcare, workplaces, and educational systems look like for Black Women? This is the question that Enlightened Solutions, a nonprofit social enterprise and social advocacy think tank asked in their 2024 follow-up report to Project Noir. The original report, released in 2021, was the first survey of its kind to understand better why Cleveland was ranked last as a livable city for Black Women.

Now, with an enhanced survey methodology and questions, the 2024 report provides another glimpse into the lived experiences of Black Women in our communities. Has anything changed since 2020?

Join us at the City Club as we hear from Enlightened Solutions' Chinenye Nkemere and Bethany Studenic, and Kayla Griffin Green on how Northeast Ohio can become a national leader in racial and gender equity--especially for Black Women.
