All Things Black and Beautiful

This Women’s History Month, we couldn’t have picked a better book to feature than “”Lead to Win””, by the incredible Carla A. Harris, a powerhouse who has blazed trails on Wall Street and chairs the National Women’s Business Council. Harris spills the tea on eight essential qualities every intentional leader needs: authenticity, building trust, creating other leaders, clarity, diversity, innovation, inclusivity, and voice. Through her “”pearls of wisdom””, gained from decades of experience, she shows us how to transform from individual contributor to impactful leader. As we celebrate women’s achievements this month, this book reminds us that leadership isn’t just about position - it’s about empowering others and creating lasting change. Whether you’re leading a team or aspiring to make your mark, Harris’s insights are your roadmap to becoming a more powerful, impactful, and influential leader.

We're championing community over competition, because when we lift each other up, we all rise together. That biz bestie who shares your work to their network or plugs you in with their audience isn’t just a cheerleader—they’re a cornerstone of the foundation we’re building together as small business owners. When we choose collaboration over isolation, unity over individualism, we strengthen the fabric of our community and fuel our collective success. So let’s continue empowering and amplifying one another—because success is so much sweeter when we achieve it together. ???? #BlackBusiness #SupportBlackBusiness #BuyBlack #BlackOwnedBusinesses #BlackHistoryMonth #BusinessCommunity #ATBBCommunity
