Join The Movement
This is a great place to add a tagline.
What would our communities look like if Black women had the resources to fully thrive? Did you know that Black women are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the U.S. yet often receive less than 1% of venture capital funding? Or that despite our critical role as caregivers, leaders, and changemakers, Black women still face some of the highest disparities in wealth, health, and opportunity? The Power 1000 campaign is more than just a movement—it’s a call to action. Together, we can change these statistics, build a legacy of resilience, and create a future where Black women don’t just survive but thrive. Are you ready to join us in rewriting the narrative?
