Thanks to the generous support of our community, Boss Women Matter (BWM) Round Table Talks have become a vital resource for Black women founders in Chicagoland. These open dialogues are a lifeline for Black women founders and serve as a cornerstone for community building, policy advocacy, and capacity building. While substantial progress has been made, the journey to economic equality for Black women founders remains challenging. Despite persistent systemic funding disparities to underrepresentation, our expanding community of founders is steadfast in their commitment to overcoming these barriers and creating a more equitable economic landscape.   Never before has our work been more critical. By dismantling these obstacles, we not only empower individuals but also uplift entire communities. Each Black woman founder supported is a beacon of hope, illuminating a brighter future for us all.   So today we invite you to make an impact with a powerful statement of support. Your contribution will not only help us expand our Round Table Talks, but provide mentorship, and advocate for policies. Together, we can empower the next generation of Black women entrepreneurial leaders. Will you join us in creating a brighter future? Donate now to support Black women founders. https://lnkd.in/g_ZJZZhq Not on our email list? Join us by subscribing below! https://lnkd.in/gkZF3xEA

In honor of International Women's Day, here are some interesting facts about some women in history. https://lnkd.in/ecsemftz

To win the @sheamoisture first prize means that I can now starting a community called "Black Girls of Australia" which will serve several purposes: 1. Representation: It will provide a platform for Black girls and women in Australia to have their voices heard and their experiences validated. Representation is crucial for fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment within marginalized communities. 2. Support and Empowerment: The platform and community will create a safe space for Black girls to support and uplift each other, sharing resources, advice, and encouragement. This can be particularly important in combating feelings of isolation, discrimination, addressing trauma, mental health and physical health. 3. Visibility and Awareness: By highlighting the experiences and achievements of Black girls and women in Australia, the community can raise awareness about issues they face, such as racism, stereotyping, and systemic inequalities. This can contribute to broader social change and advocacy efforts. 4. Networking and Community Building: It facilitates connections and networking among Black girls and women across Australia, fostering a sense of community and solidarity. This can lead to collaborations, mentorship opportunities, and friendships. 5. Celebration of Diversity: It celebrates the diversity within the Black community in Australia, recognizing that experiences and identities can vary widely based on factors such as ethnicity, nationality, religion, and socio-economic background. Overally, starting "Black Girls of Australia" is an empowering and important initiative that can have a positive impact on the lives of Black girls and women across the country and nation of Australia. Thank you to everyone who has gone ahead and voted for me. #sheamoisture #blackgirlsofaustralia https://lnkd.in/gQwZyaZA
