ColorComm Launches Miami Chapter with Over 60 Women

Over 60 women converged at The Wynwood Yard Wednesday night to attend the launch of the Miami chapter of ColorComm, the nation’s premier organization for women of color working in communications. More than half of the attendees turned in membership applications on the spot.“Seeing so many powerful Black and Brown women from across South Florida come out was beyond exhilarating. We worked hard for a successful launch, but to have 31 women complete membership applications is more than we could have hoped for! Plus, we are still getting inquiries! To know this is only the beginning of how we will unite and combine our gifts to impact the city gives me and my team so much to look forward to. ColorComm Miami has arrived with a bang and we will only go up from here” Executive Director Jessica Garrett Modkins, said.Many women expressed their excitement at having a local chapter to call their own on social media using the hashtag #ColorCommMIA.Miami is ColorComm’s ninth chapter and its only one in Florida. Other chapters are located in Houston, Washington DC, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas.
