According to the Small Business Administration, Black women-owned businesses are the fastest-growing demographic of entrepreneurs in the country.  

But found that Black Women still are challenged in their journey to economic mobility and creating generational wealth. Why? A Goldman Sach’s survey, One Million Black Women, found debt, housing costs, and limited career advancement opportunities. And that’s led to nearly one out of every three Black women having a part-time job, or side hustle, in addition to their full-time employment. 

 Well, there’s a free local program that is designed to help black womenpreneurs – it says on their website - Luna Launchpad – to make the leap from side hustle to full-time founder.

Nikia Allen - Founder, Luna Launchpad
