About this listen

Black women are the most educated demographic in America — yet hundreds of thousands are currently out of work.

In this episode of Making Black History Today, Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew shares her journey from her upbringing to becoming NAACP President at University of Texas at Arlington, and how that leadership foundation shaped her work in philanthropy and community building.

We discuss:

• Her path to Dallas and stepping into impact work
• Launching the HeriTage Giving Circle
• Black women, education, and workforce disparities
• The current climate for Black communities
• Cultural identity and reflections on Bad Bunny and Puerto Rican contributions to America

This conversation explores leadership, economics, culture, and what it means to build lasting community power in this moment.
