The Greater Durham Black Chamber of Commerce presented its inaugural “Coalesce: Black Women in Business” networking event last month at The Parlour (not the ice cream store) on Parrish Street.

“Coalesce” means to “unite, join, mingle” and that was the agenda of GDBCC President and CEO CJ Broderick. The theme for the evening was “Building Partnerships, Power, and Legacy.” To learn more about the GDBCC, visit www.gdbcc.org.

The Parlour is a beautiful event management company at 104 W. Parrish St. in downtown. It replaced Ella West Gallery which closed last year.

“This evening is a chance to merge or grow together,” said host Sabrena Mervin-Blake, owner of LampLightHER coaching. “Don’t collect cards you’ll never call. This is about partnership, power and legacy.”
