info_outlineIn this episode of the Que Bola Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Metris Batts, the first African-American president of the Miami Women's Club, as we celebrated the club's 125th anniversary.

Metris emphasized the importance of the Women's Club in documenting local history and its role in various social service initiatives throughout the years. Despite its long-standing presence, she noted that the club remains "hidden in plain sight," largely due to the older demographic of its members who may not be as active on social media or in publicizing their contributions. We discussed the need for revitalization and outreach to younger generations, as Metris aims to bring new energy and diversity to the club.
Throughout our conversation, Metris shared her journey within the organization, from joining in 2008 to becoming president, and how she is working to bridge the gap between the club's storied past and its future. We explored her theme for her presidency, "Be the Torch," which symbolizes the passing of knowledge and the importance of keeping the club's legacy alive.

As we wrapped up, we discussed the upcoming gala event, which promises to be a vibrant celebration of the club's history and its commitment to supporting the arts and local nonprofits.

This episode is a testament to the power of history, community, and the importance of inclusivity in shaping the future of organizations like the Miami Women's Club.
