Campbell has been an activist for civil, youth, and women’s rights for over 20 years and is a well-known leader in the social justice movement. As convener of the BWR, Campbell unites organizations of women from many races, ethnicities and backgrounds to advocate for policies that advance women in the United States.

The BWR promotes health and wellness, economic stability, education, and empowerment of black women on a national and global scale. The BWR accomplishes its mission by educating women on the political process and leadership development to empower them to improve the quality of life for themselves and their community.
