Jean Chatzky: 我认为，在逆退的 DEI 环境下，支持黑人企业比以往任何时候都更加重要。即使大型零售商的政策或政治立场与你不同，购买其货架上的黑人企业产品仍然有助于支持这些企业，并保持供应系统的多样性。我们应该利用我们的购买力来支持那些我们希望看到继续存在和发展的黑人企业。 在当前的政治环境下，许多公司正在撤回其 DEI 计划，这使得黑人女性企业家比以往任何时候都更需要我们的支持。我们应该将我们的金钱用在我们的信仰上，这是一种行使权力的方式。 此外，小型企业是这个国家的支柱，它们对就业和经济增长至关重要。我们应该支持这些企业，因为它们对我们的国家至关重要。 Tiffany Dufu: 黑人女性企业家是美国增长最快的创业群体，她们的创业精神值得我们敬佩。创业是实现经济流动性、自主性和权力的重要途径，尤其对那些在工作场所感觉不被看见或不被听到的黑人女性来说，创业是值得冒险的。 在支持黑人企业方面，我认为重要的是要承认并非所有消费者都有相同的选择机会。如果消费者有选择，那么他们可以通过多种方式行使选择权来支持黑人企业。 对于那些有想法但害怕放弃稳定工作的人，我建议先进行 MVP 测试，以了解市场反应，再决定是否创业。此外，收购现有企业也是一个不错的选择，但需要进行充分的尽职调查。 在Tory Burch基金会，我们致力于帮助女性企业家突破百万美元的收入大关。我们提供资金、教育和网络支持，帮助她们发展壮大。我们相信，女性企业家对经济和社会的贡献不可或缺。

Shownotes Transcript

As we close out Black History Month, we wanted to shine a spotlight on one sector of the population we’re truly in awe of: Black female business owners. Although Black women make up less than 10% of the U.S. population, they’ve emerged as the *fastest-growing *group of entrepreneurs in the country. 

Today we’re joined by Tiffany Dufu), president of the Tory Burch Foundation and author of Drop the Ball, to discuss what’s fueling the rise of Black women-owned businesses, the biggest hurdles they face, and how we can all use our purchasing power to support them.
