What happens when Black women from Dallas take their seats at international decision-making tables?

New opportunities for tourism, business development, cultural exchange, and global economic growth.

Dr. Cheryl Polote-Williamson, Swan Lee, Dr. Grace Darko, and Megan Williams have been inducted into leadership roles connected to Ghana’s tourism ecosystem, helping strengthen ties between Ghana and the United States.

Their work represents more than individual achievement. It demonstrates the growing influence of Black women leaders in creating international partnerships that can drive investment, trade, tourism, and collaboration across continents.

As Dallas continues to emerge as a global city, these women with the Ghana Tourism Authority are helping build bridges that connect North Texas to opportunities around the world.

🏆 HISTORY MADE AT LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL 🏆

The Lincoln Lady Tigers are officially STATE CHAMPIONS — and record breakers.

The 4x100-meter relay team of Naomi Jones, Aariyah Stanley-Bullock, Sanai Lewis, and Siani Simpson posted a historic time of 45.86 seconds, breaking a Dallas Carter relay record that had stood since 2017 and was part of the era of future world champion Sha’Carri Richardson.

DW sat down with the athletes and Athletic Coordinator Reginald Bell to discuss the hard work, dedication, and discipline that fueled this unforgettable season.

Their story is bigger than medals and records. It’s a story of perseverance, teamwork, and the next generation of South Dallas excellence.

“Before we’re first responders, we’re parents.”

As Dallas officials surveyed the devastation left behind by the explosion at The Clyde apartments, one statement stood out above the rest.

With DISD school recently dismissed for the day and families expected to be home, first responders knew the heartbreaking possibilities they could face upon arrival.

Now, as investigators continue searching for answers and families begin the difficult road to recovery, our community is mourning alongside those directly impacted by this tragedy.

Authorities have confirmed three fatalities, including a child, while several individuals remain unaccounted for.

The American Red Cross, Mission Oak Cliff, and other local organizations are working to support displaced residents and affected families.

If you’re concerned about a missing loved one, officials are asking residents to call 311.
