“This year’s 2025 Phenomenal Women’s Annual Event is intended to be inclusive and not competitive, and is designed as a collaborative model to engage women across different agencies, businesses, faith based communities, and local governments,” the organization’s news release says. “We will recognize the achievements and contributions of women in our Flagler County Community who are helping Women and Youth to ‘Move Forward Together Through It All: via mentoring, coaching, advocacy, activism, and intergenerational educational opportunities that promote leadership, ownership, and influence’.”

The overarching Women in NAACP group (WIN) was founded in 1980 by Frances Dancy Hooks and Earleen Bolden in Memphis, Tennessee. By doing so they aimed to further the role of women in the ongoing push for civil rights, leading to a nationwide implementation. “Throughout our history, Black women have made an important contribution to the race,” Hooks once said. “As wives and mothers and teachers, we have accepted great responsibilities.”
