The power of Black women in entrepreneurship and political leadership is undeniable. We’re the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs and now have two Black women serving as senators simultaneously—a historic first. These roles drive economic and social progress for our communities. VP Harris may not have won this bid, but she’s still the first Black woman to serve as Vice President, paving the way for future generations. At 60, her impact is just beginning. Watch the full conversation and see why Black women’s influence is unstoppable 👉 https://lnkd.in/gR4_ecDT #BlackWomenEntrepreneurs #Leadership #EconomicProgress

I’ve never said this before… But the truth is, I’m here because someone else believed in me… Someone gave me their vote of confidence and it got me the Director title. But not every black woman in the workplace will have the know-how to get the support that she needs to move ahead in her career. And while we want to tell ourselves that we’re making progress in getting more black women into leadership positions, the stats don’t lie… In the 2023 women in the workplace report: → women of colour represented 1 in 16 C-Suite leaders → For every 100 men that were promoted last year, only 54 black women were promoted → Only 7% of VPs and Senior VPs were women of colour That’s why my purpose has never been more clear to me: 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 🔥 And we’re here to make history this women’s history month with something that’s never done before.

As a Black businesswoman owning a financial advising firm, I am thrilled to witness a significant moment in history with President Joe Biden endorsing Kamala Harris as the presidential nominee. This endorsement is more than just a political move; it is a powerful statement about women's empowerment and the potential for Black women entrepreneurs to break barriers and achieve greatness. Kamala Harris's journey to this point is a testament to the resilience, intelligence, and leadership that women, particularly Black women, bring to the table. Her nomination symbolizes a breaking of the glass ceiling and serves as an inspiration for all women striving to make their mark in their respective fields. 👏Seeing a woman of color in such a prominent position reinforces the belief that we can overcome these hurdles and excel. 👏Empowerment begins with representation. When we see ourselves reflected in leadership roles, it fuels our ambition and validates our aspirations. 👏Kamala Harris's nomination encourages us to dream bigger and aim higher, knowing that our contributions are valuable and our voices matter. As we celebrate this milestone, let's also focus on practical steps to support and uplift Black women entrepreneurs. By doing so, we not only empower individual women but also strengthen our communities and drive economic growth. #WomenEmpowerment #BlackWomenEntrepreneurs #Leadership #Inspiration

This article delves into the unique qualities and challenges that shape the leadership journey of Black women. From navigating intersectional identities to redefining traditional leadership paradigms, our contributions are invaluable and often overlooked. Black women in leadership often face additional challenges regarding equality in work metrics (moving targets) and budgets (limiting resources). How does your organization keep discrimination and stereotyping out of teams? While transparency and radical honesty can help decrease bias when assigning projects, it may not be enough.

Regardless of politics, it's striking how many were surprised by VP Harris's exceptional debate performance. This underscores the stark reality of how far Black women must go to be acknowledged for their abilities. VP Harris isn’t singular - there are numerous equally talented Black women in politics, unrecognized by most Americans. This issue extends beyond politics to our organizations. The talent for diverse leadership roles already exists internally; we must be bold enough to acknowledge it. #Leadership #DiversityAndInclusion #BlackWomenInLeadership #TalentWithin

Highlighting this for EVERY women. 👏 What caught me about this specific post is the focus on “we,” power. Yes, the word “we” holds all the power that is needed to break the glass wall. Ladies, you have more than enough power. Don’t let society tell you different, but you don’t have to do it alone. Making Millennium can be your “we.” This is a community by women, for women. Helping women find success and win in their careers! Make sure you check out our website- link in our bio. #womeninbusiness #womenempowerment #womenentrepreneurs #womenempoweringwomen
