support women of color

Our mission is to create a movement of support for women-owned businesses by raising awareness of why, where and how to buy Women Owned. Today we want to intentionally take that a step further and be a resource of why, where and how to buy from Black Women-Owned brands and spotlight some of the amazing women of color brands in our network.

When you support Women of Color by patronizing their businesses and buying their products, you are making an investment into a future of economic success, innovation, and equality. Discover Black Women-Owned Brands to Support.
Don't forget! You can subscribe now to the brand new Women Who Own It Podcast. For and by women entrepreneurs and their supporters, Women Who Own It will feature organic conversation and unscripted stories with women business owners who built it, grew it, and #OwnIt.

the last word

"Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, and Ava Duvernay are women who inspire me. First and foremost, they’re women who are doing such incredible things and they look like me. But I also love that they have bold dreams, live bravely, and they turn around and pull other women up with them. It’s clear that they’ve made it their duty and responsibility to push open the doors wide enough to allow others to follow alongside and behind them."
