Bad & Bossy
As the world continues to spiral into uncertainty, Black women are doing what they’ve always done: making
a way out of no way by starting businesses despite rampant racism, sexism, elitism and an egregious lack of available resources in the entrepreneurship space.
According to the Harvard Business Review, 17% of Black women are in the process of starting or running new businesses compared to only 10% of white women and 15% of white men.
At this rate, Black women are starting (and self-funding) businesses faster than anyone else while receiving less than 1% of venture capital funding and being largely ignored by the notoriously shady PPP program
With this in mind, we compiled an essential list of Black woman entrepreneurs for you to follow, support, and celebrate as they continue to hustle harder than any other educated group in the world.
