Why does women of color, first gen entrepreneurs struggle with investing in themselves? I'm diving into this vulnerably and transparently with you.
Here's what I'm covering:
- Wells Fargo: Between 2019 and 2024, the revenue growth of Asian women-owned businesses was 20.6%, which lagged behind the revenue growth of all women-owned businesses (38.3%) and Asian men-owned businesses (24.8%).
- Women in Business Stats: Revenue Trends for Women of Color: Black women-owned businesses average $24,000 annually. Latina-owned businesses are also reported to generate lower revenues compared to non-Hispanic white women-owned businesses.
- Systemic Barriers: Generational wealth gap
- Lack of Diversity: We need a coach that looks like us and can empathize with us.
- First Gen Barriers: Lack of networks and mentors, culturally conditioned to be risk averse and generational trauma the perpetuates scarcity mindset
- Luxury vs. Necessity
