Muffy Mendoza started Brown Mamas Marketplace in 2012 to support local Black mothers by helping them achieve better health and economic outcomes. At that time, there weren’t many resources for Black women entering entrepreneurship, especially for first-generation Black women business owners. This year's marketplace, happening on Small Business Saturday, will include speakers, experts and professionals like lawyers. https://lnkd.in/gBbZvzP9

Four financial coaches sharing 'Our 4 Cents' about the real money matters that impact, inspire, and support black women. Tonight's topic: High Value Men or High Net Worth Men - What Attracts Black Women? There's been controversy across the interwebs about what it means to be a high value man (or woman). Does high value mean high net worth? Is a person's value tied to how much money they make? Join the LIVE conversation TONIGHT @ 7pm and let's talk about it!

Studies say that women reinvest up to 90% of their incomes back into their families and communities, compared to just 30-40% by men. When women get richer, societies get richer. It is true that the best way to repair our broken society is to empower women. In fact,empowering women isn't just the right thing to do —it's the smart thing to do. I wrote my book, The Journey: An African American Woman’s Roadmap to Independence, to help Black women like my daughter take control of their finances and build generational wealth. When Black women achieve financial freedom, it creates a ripple effect that empowers families, strengthens communities, and drives real change. ? Because when women, especially Black women, rise, entire communities rise with them.

As a Black mom and entrepreneur, navigating the challenges of motherhood and business can be daunting, but the rewards are immeasurable. Did you know that Black women are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the U.S., yet they receive less than 1% of venture capital funding? Despite these odds, we continue to push forward, creating opportunities and breaking barriers. Balancing these roles requires resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to our families and communities. It’s time we change the narrative and support Black women in business, ensuring that our voices are heard and our contributions recognized. Let’s continue to lift each other up, share resources, and celebrate our successes. Together, we can turn challenges into stepping stones.

Only 3% of Black women-owned businesses mature + make it past 5 years. This is despite starting 42% of all businesses created each day by women overall in the U.S. and more than 75% having at least a college degree. Blaze Group is pioneering in the space of business finance education, transcending content with culture — creating learning environments inside of third space technology that feel like “refuge” and “home”. These are spaces that Black women grow up in for years at a time, we’ve seen it with our own eyes. We are shifting timelines + the distribution of economic power. Read our blog to learn more about how we’re doing this. ????

Hey everyone, it's Deb Spence here, and today I want to talk about something weighing heavy on my heart. As a Black woman navigating various industries, organizations, and social circles, I've noticed a disheartening trend: Black women being pitted against each other and white women. It's as if there's only room for one woman to succeed, and the rest of us, no matter how hard we work, end up on the outside looking in—defeated, exhausted, and often sick. This isn't just a coincidence; it's a systemic issue. Society has long conditioned us to believe that there’s a scarcity of opportunities for women and that scarcity is even more pronounced for Black women. We're forced BY SOME MEN into this competitive survival mode where we're made to believe that another woman's success somehow diminishes our potential. But let’s be clear: this narrative is not our truth. We don't have to buy into the divide-and-conquer tactics to keep us from our collective power. We are stronger together. When we uplift, share resources, and celebrate each other's victories, we create a ripple effect that benefits us all. To my Black sisters, know that your success is not a threat to anyone else's. You are worthy of every opportunity, and your brilliance does not go unnoticed. To my allies, recognize these systemic issues and join us in dismantling them. Actual progress means creating spaces where all women can thrive! Let's stop letting a select few of men be the gatekeepers to our joy and progress. Let's rewrite this narrative together. Let’s stand in solidarity without fearing being overshadowed or left behind. Stay strong, stay united, and keep pushing forward. With love and determination, Deb Spence #UnityInDiversity #EmpowerEachOther #WomenSupportingWomen #BreakTheCycle #StrengthInUnity #DebSpence
