As Black History Month comes to an end and is neatly tucked away for another year, I feel pressed to speak up for Black businesswomen. While ears are still listening and interests still piqued, I hope that the group I belong to will soon become less niche and more commonly observed and supported as power structures relating to business, gender and race begin to shift.
There is no denying that strides toward equity have been made. From the airwaves to printed headlines to the dinner table, there has been no escaping the long-overdue conversations surrounding social injustice. In there, somewhere, is a hopefulness among us Black businesswomen that, soon, we will emerge from invisibility.
