February is Black History Month in the United States and Canada, but Black women deserve to be celebrated, followed, and listened to well beyond February. Though many may make a concerted effort to learn during Black History Month, that effort should be an all the time thing, not just a one month of the year thing. There are so many women that we should all know far more about, so we’ve pulled together a list of 17 Black women that are making change today. From the first Black vice president of the United States (you didn’t think we’d leave her out, did you?) to businesswomen, journalists, activists, and more, these are women who we should all learn plenty about before reading about them later on down the line.
