In this episode, we dive into the entrepreneurial paradox facing Black women in America—unprecedented business growth alongside persistent barriers to corporate leadership and wealth. Drawing inspiration from trailblazers like Toni Townes-Whitley, we explore the tension between individual success and systemic change, and discuss how true empowerment means not just starting businesses, but transforming the very systems that shape opportunity. Tune in for actionable insights on building networks, advocating for policy reform, and redefining what leadership and strength look like in today’s business landscape.
