CALIFIA NOW Chapter of Greater LA

OUR STORY, HOW WE GOT STARTED-

Inspired by my own experiences as a woman with deep faith in God, social work

professional, business entrepreneur and working mother, Cheryl A. Branch, organized

her girlfriends, mentors and colleagues and launched the Califia NOW Chapter of

Greater Los Angeles in May 2014. The Califia NOW Chapter supports the political and economic empowerment of women of color and their families in California through access to education, networking programs and mentoring support. In partnership with California NOW Chapter, the Califia NOW Chapter of Greater Los Angeles helps to provide direct action and service projects for women in Los Angeles. Women of all races bring home less income and own fewer assets, on average, than men of the same race, but for single black women the disparities are so overwhelmingly great that even in their prime working years their median wealth amounts to only $5. THIS MUST CHANGE! Our Leaders:

Cheryl A. Branch, President/Founder
Pastor Dr. Meschellia Johnson, Vice Chair
Charline Sistrunk, Treasurer
Jacqueline, Badejo, Secretary
Clipper Scott, Nutrition Education Standing Committee
Monica Victorino, Physical Activity Standing Committee
Adria Z. Williams, Communications/Social Media Standing Committee
