Fort Worth (TX) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated
Kerensa Nero, Chapter President
On behalf of the extraordinary women of the Fort Worth (TX) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, it is my honor and privilege to welcome you in the spirit of friendship and service.
In Fort Worth (TX) ,”Where the West Begins”, sixty-six years ago, ten remarkable African American women—bold, visionary, and deeply committed to community—came together with a singular goal: to establish a chapter of The Links, Incorporated that would serve as a beacon of excellence, advocacy, and impact in Fort Worth and beyond. These founding members were not only united in sisterhood but also fueled by a deep love for their community and a determination to effect meaningful change. These pioneering women were strong, determined, and enterprising. They understood the urgent need to elevate and uplift African American communities through sustained civic engagement, educational advocacy, and cultural stewardship.
Their vision gave birth to a legacy—one that we, today, are both proud and humbled to continue. We are honored to stand on the shoulders of those extraordinary founders, carrying forward their legacy with reverence and resolve. We remain steadfast in our commitment to the values and mission of our beloved organization: to enrich, sustain, and ensure the culture and economic survival of African Americans and other persons of African ancestry.
As President of this impactful chapter, I am proud to share that we remain anchored in the values and mission of our organization, advancing purposeful programming in the areas of Health and Human Services, the Arts, National Trends and Services, International Trends and Services, and Services to Youth. We continue to build bridges of equity, empower families towards sustainable capacity, and amplify voices that have historically been underserved and overlooked.
