Says Female Techpreneurs:
These women, and countless others, have paved the way for a new generation of female founders.
Let’s celebrate these incredible women! And also support the growing community of Black female entrepreneurs by:
📌 Amplifying Their Voices: Share their stories on social media, attend their events, and purchase their products or services.
📌 Investing in Their Ideas: Consider investing in Black-led startups or joining a mentorship program.
📌 Advocating for Change: Support policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the startup ecosystem.
This theme for this year’s Black History Month was: “Reclaiming Narratives”.
