Black Women Winning: Kamala Harris Reminds Us Why We’re Always Worth Watching, Celebrating and Investing In

In a powerful show of support, 92% of Black women cast their votes for Kamala Harris in the recent presidential election, underscoring our collective strength and unwavering commitment to leadership that reflects our values. Although she did not win, this overwhelming support tells a deeper story about Black women’s impact, resilience, and vision.

What can't be disputed is ----

Black women have been the architects of change, champions of resilience, and symbols of excellence across the globe. From breaking barriers in politics to building economic powerhouses, we stay winning—and we won’t stop.

Kamala Harris's historic role as Vice President and run as President is just one example of how our influence has shaped and continues to shape society. And in this recent election, with Black women standing strong in support, we’ve proven yet again that we’re not just participating in history; we’re making it.

Across industries and around the world, Black women are redefining success, creating opportunities, and transforming their communities. Despite facing systemic challenges like pay inequity and underrepresentation in leadership, our influence remains undeniable.

It's important to affirm the following facts:

  • Black Women Deserve to Be Celebrated: Black women have been the backbone, the innovators, and the leaders across every field, often without the recognition they deserve. We carry communities on our shoulders, push through obstacles with grace, and achieve excellence against the odds. We deserve to be celebrated—not just for what we do, but for who we are.
  • Black Women Are Well Worth Watching: From creating transformative businesses to shaping policy, Black women are making moves that redefine what success looks like. The world should be paying attention because we are setting trends, breaking barriers, and making history every day. When Black women rise, we bring others with us, and our influence leaves an indelible mark.
  • Black Women Prove Worth Investing In: Time and time again, we show that investing in Black women yields extraordinary returns. Whether it’s in leadership, innovation, or community-building, Black women amplify value and drive impact. We don’t just invest in ourselves—we lift up our communities and create pathways for the next generation. When you invest in a Black woman, you’re investing in a brighter, more inclusive future.

To all my beautiful, brilliant sisters—

Let’s take a moment to recognize what we’ve accomplished. We are the dreamers, the doers, the trailblazers who keep showing up and making history, no matter what. Every single day, we’re building legacies, shattering stereotypes, and redefining success on our own terms. This isn’t just a moment; it’s a movement. Black women, we stay winning—and we’re nowhere near done.

Think of everything we’re carrying: the expectations, the ambition, the drive to uplift not just ourselves but our communities, too.

In the workplace, we often come with more qualifications, more experience, and more grit than anyone else at the table. And still, we have to work twice as hard to get half the recognition.

But guess what? We’re breaking down those barriers, one achievement at a time. Every win we claim in corporate spaces, every raise, every promotion—it’s a victory for all of us.

Remember: We are powerful. We are resilient. We are worth watching, celebrating, and investing in. Our stories don’t just inspire; they transform.

So, to every Black woman reading this— Never let anyone make you feel small. Walk boldly, knowing that you are a reflection of generations of strength, beauty, and brilliance. Keep going, keep rising, and keep shining. The world may try to overlook us, but we will always be worth watching.

Let’s Keep Pushing:

  • How are you celebrating your wins?
  • Where do you see yourself breaking new ground next?
  • What support do you need to keep moving forward?

Share your story, uplift your sisters, and remember—our light is unstoppable.
