The 8 Qualities of the EXCEPTIONAL Black Woman in Business and Entrepreneurship is a reference book designed to give “voice” to women business owners, especially those women of color. There are many successful black women business owners that have cracked the code of surpassing racial, gender, financial and generational roadblocks, however we have been “conditioned” to keep those solutions “privately” amongst ourselves. There are numerous reasons why, however the biggest one tends to be FEAR! Fear of loss, threats, and exclusion. Throughout time people of color have watched our “culture” be profited by other ethnicities, we have experienced targeting and ostracism, and frequently are not afforded salaries equivalent to our levels of contributions and experience.
