INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Highlighting Black tech owners and entrepreneurs is the goal of the first ever
Katara McCarty launched her business in August 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic.
“I started hearing about how the Black community was being impacted disproportionately with COVID. We saw the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor play out in our news feed and our news cycle. I could feel the collective trauma, grief, stress, anxiety that the Black community was experiencing,” McCarty said.
So she launched an app called
Exhale. It’s an emotional well-being app designed for women of color.
“It’s free to download, free to use,” McCarty said. “There’s meditations, guided breath work techniques and coaching talks. It’s all about addressing our every day stressors as Black and brown women and fems.”
