This episode dives deep into the realities behind the rise of Black women’s entrepreneurship, revealing how systemic inequities, mass layoffs, and persistent pay gaps have forced many to create their own opportunities out of necessity rather than inspiration. Through powerful stories and data, we explore the emotional and financial toll of being pushed out of traditional workplaces, the resourcefulness required to survive, and the vital role of community and faith in rebuilding. Join us as we challenge the myth of empowerment through forced resilience and imagine a future where Black women can choose softness, rest, and entrepreneurship on their own terms.
