About BHWOCC
Who We Are.
The Boston Harbor Women of Color Coalition works to elevate women of color as leaders in green and blue spaces while cultivating connectedness to each other and the outdoors.
The coalition is an employee-driven initiative founded in May 2021 by Malene Welch, Joye Williams, Maya Smith, and Nikki Tabron, four Black women who work at Boston Children’s Museum, Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, and Thompson Island Outward Bound respectively.
Our Vision.
We envision a world where we have recognized and elevated the insight, wisdom, and brilliance of women of color; where their leadership is advancing the needs and interests of our communities in green and blue spaces.
