MADISON, Wis. —To further its mission of providing education, providing coworking opportunities and promoting sisterhood to Black women, the Progress Center for Black Women is moving from Fitchburg to the Capitol Square in Madison. The new office will be located at 30 W. Mifflin St.

“I look forward to collaborating authentically with Madison’s downtown community,” Sabrina Madison, founder of the Progress Center for Black Women, said. “Our new space and location will give us the opportunity to elevate our reach and help Black women thrive as they transform their lives and families.”

The more than 1,400 square-foot family-friendly office includes a coworking space and will host events, including seminars on financial health, entrepreneurship and leadership.

The new space is set to be finished the week of July 5.

The Progress Center for Black Women was founded in 2017, allowing Madison to expand her efforts to empower Black women and families.

About Sabrina Madison

After working a traditional 9-5, Madison left her well-paying job to work full-time for Black women and families. Realizing there was nothing in the Midwest specifically devoted to the professional development of Black women she organized the first Black Women’s Leadership Conference in 2016. The success following the first conference led to the launch of the Black Business Expo and the Black Excellence Youth Conference (BEYC). In 2018 Madison opened the doors to the Progress Center for Black Women with the mission to create more Black women who are leaders, doers, and owners.
