Growing up you were taught to go to school and get an education so you can get a “good” job. Now you have all the degrees, certifications, etc. to last a lifetime. Despite your education and experience, you haven’t reached the pinnacle in corporate.
There have been many Black women who have left corporate to become entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship comes with its own set of challenges. One of the biggest challenges for Black women is access to capital. Black women receive less than 1% of venture capital. Many programs that cater to Black women entrepreneurs are under attack.
While there are many injustices that Black women experience we do have power. Sister I encourage you to keep your cup overflowing. For many years you have neglected yourself taking care of others that ends now.
Black women are change agents. We have always been leaders and create macro change in the world. As you begin shopping this holiday season the loudest way to use your voice is by being intentional with your $$. Instead of shopping with a major retailer who doesn’t have your best interest at heart support a sister.
One gift that I recommend for a Black woman is Love Letters to My Girls book. Written by over one hundred Black women this book is all about us loving on ourselves. Grab your copy of Love Letters to My Girls at https://linktr.ee/healercassandra.
