Time’s flying! It’s already March. Black History month came and went but not for those who meet in the intersection of these two monumental months. The celebration continues. This Women’s History Month we pause to acknowledge persons making history. This March, Trill Kitchen is supporting black female entrepreneurs, highlighting our fave!

The incoming president for The National Association of Black Women in Construction (NABWIC) is none other than Jamaica’s own Dr. Esther Lambert. The National Association of Black Women in Construction’s (NABWIC) mission is to build lasting strategic partnerships with first-rate organizations and individuals that will provide ground-breaking and innovative solutions for black women in construction and their respective communities.| NABWIC.ORG. Ann McNeill, NABWIC Chair and Founder, Ursula Odom, and lead interviewer Jada Williams gave Dr. Lambert a warm welcome into her new position. Listen to the interview with these phenomenal women.

Bio

Dr. Esther Lambert is originally from the island of Jamaica. She is a small business owner with a company that provides project management services on capital improvement projects on mostly engineering and construction projects in South Florida. She is the incoming president for the National Association of Black Women in Construction (NABWIC) where she is also a member of the local South Florida Chapter.  Dr. Lambert is also a board member of Artserve, a not-for-profit organization, which is one of the nation's original arts incubators, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dr. Lambert is passionate about volunteering and has served as a committee member with the Mustard Seeds Gift of Hope organization, as well as a past tutor to students at the Metropolitan Baptist Church in Hollywood, Florida. 

Dr. Lambert has a PhD in Organizational Management with a Specialization in Project Management from Capella University, 2015.  She also has an MBA, International Business, Nova Southeastern University; a BS in International Business, Everest University, 2003.

NABWIC was founded in 1991 with the intention of increasing national awareness of Black Women in the industry of construction. I may be a bit biased but I know the Florida-based non-profit organization is in good hands and will thrive under Dr. Lambert’s leadership.
