It's that time of year again. See wich amazing ladies we recognized in 2018.

2. In 2010 the Black Women in Europe™ Blog released its first
Power List naming 58 women across Europe in 6 categories.
This year we feature 9. The 2018 awardees are in the
following categories: Activism, Education,
Entrepreneurship, Media, Politics, Society and Writing.
This list, presented in alphabetical order, is intended to
acknowledge powerful black women in Europe and to
inspire others to reach their full potential.

3. What constitutes power?
Power is defined as the ability to act or produce an
effect.
Methodology:
The Power List does not aim to assess rank but
rather to showcase influential women who, in some
cases well known and in others, are women who
should be known.
