A Black Woman Year
Over the last seven years I’ve been able to make a real difference by supporting and promoting the work of thousands of Black Women Business Owners.
Things I've done as the founder of Buy From A Black Woman:
-
Provided Black Women Business Owners with the tools and resources they need to be successful
-
Amplified their visibility through the Black Woman Business Directory, which places them in front of approximately 4,000 consumers a month
-
Provided financial support, education and mentorship and partnership opportunities
-
Created retail opportunities that have helped them generate $2.7 million in revenue
-
Built a community of 220K Black Women, supporters, partners and allies who want Black Women Entrepreneurs to succeed
As a leader in this space, I have a responsibility to ensure that we do not go backwards and that the economic empowerment that comes from Black Women,
Black Businesses &
Black Communities
is not forgotten.
A Black Woman Year is more than just a campaign, it's a movement towards economic empowerment that’ll have a lasting change because:
- It provides access to education and training programs that are crucial for building the skills and knowledge necessary for economic success.
- It offers mentorship, coaching and other support services for aspiring entrepreneurs to enhance their chances of success.
- It recognizes and addresses gender disparities and considers the unique challenges Black Women face.
- It facilitates access to markets, both locally and globally.
- And most importantly, it involves the community and allows consumers to make conscious purchasing decisions that align with their values of empowerment.
