Black Women Entrepreneurs: Past, Present, and Future

Despite all the challenges that are inherently stacked against us, the state of entrepreneurship amongst black women has never been more promising. 

In fact, according to the Center of American Progress, African American women operate more than 1.3 million businesses in the US, which generate over $45 billion in yearly revenue. 

In this very special episode, I’m turning back time to learn more about the phenomenal black women who have paved the way for all black business owners. Each of them demonstrates ingenuity, fierce determination, and a resolve to succeed even when the odds are stacked against them. 

Along the way, I also reveal exactly why there has never been a better time to be a black female entrepreneur and why our future is looking 100% bright.

I’m so proud to share their history with you and I hope you feel inspired to blaze your own trail.
