For Black women, there have always been systemic sexism and racism rooted in the system so there is a distinct disadvantage when it comes to social support. Networking and building can be essential for overcoming these challenges.
Did you know that 50 to 80% of jobs are filled through networking? Black women entrepreneurs and business owners can flourish by establishing the support networks they need for more credibility, partnerships, opportunities, and emotional as well as financial support. It is also important to establish your name and create a community of your own that supports and nourishes your business.
If you are not sure where to find a networking group that empowers women, especially Black entrepreneurs and business owners and men who support; join us at Women Into Networking (W.I.N).
