In this podcast episode, we discuss the importance of uplifting Black women across all industries. We touch upon the biases and prejudices that continue to persist in our society and how they affect Black women in particular. We also share our own personal experiences with fear and anxiety, revealing how we've learned to overcome them through journaling, therapy, and mentorship.

Key themes:

  • Challenges faced by Black women players in the WNBA, including lack of investment and the double standards they face.
  • The importance of being authentic and true to oneself in business and entrepreneurship.
  • A dire need for mentorship that considers an individual's goals, strengths, and skills - rather than simply promising quick financial gains.
  • The importance of bringing on co-founders, revenue generators, and key builders in the early stages of running a startup.
