Daily News | Entrepreneur says Cooper hospital withdrew invite to Black History Month expo because her products are not ‘ethnic’
in Camden to be a vendor at a Black History Month marketplace as a way to introduce her specialty teas to a new audience, especially other Black women.
Williams said she was initially contacted by Cooper’s diversity specialist in human resources, Francess Bowen-Metzger, in December, extending an offer to participate as a vendor. In the email message, provided to The Inquirer, Bowen-Metzger said she obtained Williams’ information from her Instagram page.
While in Texas on a recent business trip, Williams was stunned to learn that the event had been removed from her schedule. Williams’ assistant notified her that she was no longer invited to participate. Cooper, among the largest health care providers in the region, responded with Monday’s statement that it could not allow vendors with items that could be ingested. Bowen-Metzger did not respond to telephone messages and emails from The Inquirer Monday.Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome
