Buy From a Black Woman and the Center For Black Entrepreneurship are conducting a study on the impact of the defunding of DEI initiatives and the social justice uprising on Black women-owned businesses, so they’re looking for Black Women Entrepreneurs to take their survey. If this is you, please take a few minutes to complete this survey and share your experience: https://lnkd.in/ejnTEd97 Nikki Porcher #SupportBlackBusinesses hashtag #BlackWomenEntrepreneurs hashtag #DEI

Having a strong partner or support system is the game changer for Black entrepreneurs - especially black women. Tag someone who has had your back in this game of life. If you have a good partner or a good support system - don't take it for granted. It is vital. #blackbusinessboom #boominconversations

I was recently pinned by a BOW sister as I entered into the induction ceremony of The BOW Collective, an organization and sisterhood of the nation’s top black women entrepreneurs. 🎀 I’ve been a member of many groups before, but I’ve never experienced being in the room with 200+ handpicked black women entrepreneurs who are extremely successful in their businesses. As of 2024, we have over 750M in revenue that will be used to help scale our businesses and mentor smaller entities. 🙌 We believe that by focusing on securing capital, contracts, and connections, we will increase the revenue of all black women enterprises and impact our communities. #womeninleadership #businessowner #businessgrowth #personalgrowth

One of the greatest disservice one can do to themselves is surround themselves is to surround themselves with "yes" people. While no one is suggesting filling your inner circle with contrarians, Iya important to have people around you who are not afraid to "check" you if you need checking. Find you a truth teller. For some, that's a friend, colleague or mentor. For others that may look like hiring an Executive Coach who helps identify your blindspots and holds you accountable to your goals. However you get them, get someone who is not afraid to tell you the truth. Your leadership depends upon it.

I am on Capital Hill today advocating for Black women business owners. Looking forward to sharing more, but I am excited to learn more about what we can do to provide more opportunities, access to capital, and connections to every entrepreneur in the U.S.!! Proud to represent The BOW Collective with over 200 CEOs driving $1.4 billion in annual revenue and providing over 2,000 jobs. Together, we're not just small businesses—we're Breaking Barriers and making a significant impact on the economy. 💼💪🏽 #AdvocacyDay #BOWCollective #SmallBusinessVoice #BreakingBarriers"
