Bronx Women Lead panel features Laura Guerriero
Bronx Women Lead is a virtual series
created by the Bronx Women’s
Bar Association President Miguelina
Camilo, at the height of the COVID-19
pandemic and in honor of the Bronx
Women’s Bar Chapter’s 2020 theme,
“The Strength of the Bronx Women.”
Limited to virtual panels, the Chapter
wanted to create a special way to
highlight not only female leaders in
law but those in the Bronx that were integral
in supporting their community.
The series began by honoring Bronx
District Attorney Darcel Clark, the
fi rst African American woman in New
York State to hold such a title.
We have now continued to honor
women in law, business, nonprofi t sector
and government. This series, now a
staple of the Chapter, will remain long
after the pandemic as Bronx women
continue to persevere and lead us
through the most diffi cult times.
On Sept. 14, Bronx Women Lead featured
Laura Guerriero, publisher of
the Bronx Times. Savina Playter, vice
president of the Bronx Women’s Bar
Association, moderated the conversation.
Guerriero, a lifelong Bronx resident,
shared with the audience that she
has worked for the Bronx Times Reporter
since 1987, wearing numerous
hats throughout her tenure including
but not limited production/operations
manager, public relations manager, advertising
sales coordinator, columnist,

Reporter, Bronx Times and Bronx
Weekly publications. The Zoom event
ended with a Question and answer period.
Guerriero is a Bronx woman that
leads and makes us proud.
