Trailblazing Black Women In Business

    ​ Throughout history, Black Women have faced significant barriers in the business world. Despite these challenges we have persevered and made significant contributions to the world of business. From the early pioneers of the 19th century to the modern-day innovators of today, Black Women have broken barriers and paved the way for future generations. One of the early pioneers of Black Women in business was Madam C.J. Walker who built a successful business empire that included hair products, beauty schools, and sales agents across the country. Another trailblazer in business was Maggie Lena Walker. Walker was the first Black woman to charter a bank in the United States, the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank in Richmond, Virginia. She also founded the St. Luke Herald newspaper, which focused on issues affecting the Black community.
      In the modern era, Black Women continue to make significant contributions to the business world despite being grossly underrepresented in leadership roles, with just 1% of Fortune 500 companies having a Black female CEO. The accomplishments of Black Women in business serve as an inspiration and a reminder of the resilience and perseverance of our spirit. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, let us honor the contributions of all trailblazers and continue to work towards a more diverse and inclusive business world.
