THE BWFN SEPTEMBER MIXER WAS #BLACKGIRLMAGIC PERSONIFIED

A few scenes from the BWFN September Mixer at Red Martini in Atlanta

On Tuesday, the Black Women Film Network (BWFN) hosted its monthly mixer at Red Martini Restaurant & Lounge in Atlanta. Over 300 women (and men!) gathered to exchange resources, contacts, love and positive energy — proving that sisterhood is still at an all-time high!

Special thanks to Kiana Dancie and Georgia Dawkins from “Sister Circle Live;” author Zane; stylist Sybil Pennix; authors Sereniti Hall and Brenda Lee; cinematographer Deidra Tyree; talent manager Sirnette Dickerson; DJ Bomshell Boogie; realtor and philanthropist Gwen Boyd Moss; event promoter Faven Ressom; celeb MUA Shantell Simms; BWFN members Naylon Mitchell, Judi Rogers, Denise Armstrong and Kelley Jackson; Stream ATL; and BWFN Board Members Tomika DePriest, Larry Cooper and Natana Denzmore.
