Call Her ​“Influential”

One word, NOT

Congratulations Karen! Incredible woman of faith, family and community. Thanks for all you do here in New Haven!

Well deserved and congratulations to Karen!

Congratulations Karen and thanks for the leadership, the 'story' and all that you do. Succinctly and impactful.

How about influencing an improvement in the facilities at Housing Authority properties? How about influencing the positive building of community power with Housing Authority neighborhoods? How about influencing a positive trajectory in health and family financial outcomes among Housing Authority residents?

Those would deserve recognition.

Congratulations to a potential future Mayor of New Haven!

Give me a break.She was part of the King john empire which wreck this city.The Network Journal is one of these Black Boule Magazines like ebony and jet.

It is an honor. However, when there is criticism regarding classification, racism, separatism, why is there still separation such as "black women" in these areas?

"Separatism" as newhaven55 terms it is usually born out of exclusion and omission. I've never heard anyone complain when the Knights of Columbus or Hadassah decides to honor someone. The fact remains that women and minorities are significantly underrepresented in the business world. Seems rather innocuous to recognize someone who's beat the odds. But if we did that what would 3/5 have to complain about
