The State of Women-Owned Business Report announced that out of all the groups, Black women-owned businesses had the highest rate of growth.
Women of color also own a whopping 50% of women-owned businesses in the US. Now, that’s the aroma of success.
However, before you can shout “Huzzah!”, let’s look at one significant problem. Despite Black women taking control of their financial futures, customers aren’t paying them a lot of attention.
According to statistics, Black women-owned businesses earn an average of $24,000 per firm. In contrast, other women-owned businesses earn average revenue of $142,900.
Because of this, we hope that we can shine a spotlight on some of these Black women-owned businesses. The next time you’re looking for a product or service, it won’t hurt to give them a shot.
