Black women receive less than 0.35% of all venture funding (Crunchbase). My birthday wish is for an investor reading this to write a check to a Black female founder.

When they say that. More often than not, its just the best way they can articulate that "i dont see the billion dollar op" or "im just not feelin you" 🤷🏾‍♂️

Love to see it ! @TCfounders 💪🏾
Essence owes me nothing. I came and took it all home 🤎. So glad I decided to go so last minute! This trip reaffirmed me in so many ways, grateful for the power I currently yield. I’m tired but refueled at the same time 🙏🏾

Other favorite quote from the @TCfounders session, “look for the things that will look obvious later that look difficult in the moment” @chudson — I live my life as founder building with that insight in mind each day. Upwards + Onwards 🚀
