Discover Black Women Entrepreneurs and Their Incredible Stories - Celebrating Black History
Black History is rich in story, overcoming, and accomplishment. Contributions are vast, from the personal to the majority, and we celebrate them all. This year, Zebra Strategies has chosen to highlight Black Women Entrepreneurs. Women who decided what they wanted, either out of need or desire, and rose to the occasion. We tell their stories and remind ourselves that experiences matter, not just for ourselves but to make the walk easier for those who come after us. As a Black Woman Entrepreneur, I take great pride in honoring these women, their drive, courage, and commitment. Every day, we share in cultivating the accomplishments that will become Black History. Zebra Strategies salutes these women for striving, surviving, and thriving.
