Power Tools and Problems Faced by Black Women Entrepreneurs Today

This past weekend I had the pleasure of being interviewed by BlackMattersUS.com. We talked about some of the things that inspired me to start working with black women online. As well as some of the problems that black women face when starting their own businesses, and how to overcome these challenges.

Here are a few things I shared with respect to the challenges black women in business face today:

I think there are a lot of issues that we face. I think one of the biggest struggles is people aren’t looking for you. So you literally have to go out, especially Black woman entrepreneurs, and put yourself out there so that people know your business exists and that you’re credible. Another struggle is that a lot of times, unfortunately, just within the Black community, working with Black business owners, there’s a negative stigma. So not only do you have to put yourself out there for people to see you, you’ve got to on some level, repair some of the damage that people have had with past experiences, so that they trust you and want to share you with other people as well. So learning how to put yourself out there, learning how to present the most professional business so that you can repair some of the misconceptions or damages your ideal customers have had, and being in a space where you’re comfortable with money.

We covered so many important topics from the trending LetsBuyBlack Movement to Black Lives Matter and racial profiling challenges for Black Business Owners today. Read complete interview here: SistaSense: Powerful Tools For Black Women Entrepreneurs
