What We Know
Here’s the truth— Black Women need and deserve formal education and training to establish, protect, and sustain their businesses and careers. According to Fundera and Harvard Business Review, statistics over the past two years have shown that:
of Black Women are in the process of starting or running new businesses
of Black candidates are less likely to receive callbacks for employment opportunities than majority-race counterparts
of Black-woman owned businesses are low-margin, yielding little profit
Our Goals & Impact
The BlkWomenHustle Academy is determined to shift these stats in the right direction as we continue building community, education, and support for Black Women-owned businesses, advancing Black Women professionals, and enhancing the crafts of Black Women creatives. Within the first “academic” year, our goal is to educate 1,000 Black Women through our courses and workshops.
Women leave our Academy courses with knowledge, funding, services, and more for their businesses.
