Devoted to women of color in business

Women business owners are becoming more and more commonplace, and I want you take a step back and think about where you go, where you shop at, and who you are supporting: chances are there is a woman of color business owner in the mix on that list (if not, I encourage you to make a choice in that direction!)

According to the Center for Women's Business Research, almost half of all privately held U.S. companies are 50% or more) women-owned.

We employ 19.1 million people across the country. We've also grown these numbers in the last ten years: according to a BusinessWeek article, between 1997 and 2004 the number of women-owned companies grew nearly three times the rate of all privately held businesses with employees.

For publicly traded companies, we must be aware and push to make sure that the shares we hold are supporting women of color in the boardroom.
