“This gala not only recognizes the strides made by African American women in the trucking industry, but it also serves as a catalyst for further change and empowerment within our community,” said Nicole Ward, President & Cofounder of AAWTA. “We are excited to gather together our supporters, partners, and members to showcase our collective strength and the transformative power of education and advocacy.”
