Jean Chatzky: 我钦佩黑人女性企业家的成就,她们是美国增长最快的创业群体。在2025年,随着多元化、公平和包容性项目的回退,她们比以往任何时候都需要支持。我们需要关注并支持这些企业家。 Tiffany Dufu: 黑人女性创业人数的增加,一部分原因是创业是获得经济自主和权力的途径,尤其是在其他途径受限的情况下。创业虽然艰难,但它代表着自由。在工作场所,黑人女性可能感觉不被看见或不被倾听,创业则能展现她们的才能和想法。我自己的创业经历也印证了这一点,虽然充满挑战,但也带来了巨大的责任感和成就感。 在乔治·弗洛伊德事件后,黑人企业获得了前所未有的支持,但这种支持正在减少。我们需要继续支持黑人企业,即使这意味着要光顾大型零售商。运用经济力量支持符合你价值观的企业至关重要,这可能是我们仍然拥有的唯一权力杠杆。 越来越多的女性认为企业界不适合她们,选择自主创业来获得更多自由和掌控权。虽然创业辛苦,但自主性、能动性和自由感是巨大的动力。在全职创业前,可以通过测试最小化可行产品(MVP)来检验市场反应。 收购现有企业是女性创业的另一种途径,但需要仔细的尽职调查,包括财务状况、客户保留率、品牌声誉和市场地位等。在最终签署所有权文件之前,最好先在企业工作一两年,确保合适。 Tory Burch基金会致力于帮助女性企业家发展壮大,特别是帮助她们突破百万美元营收大关。我们提供资金、网络、指导和工具等支持。女性创业面临许多挑战,包括资金获取和人脉网络。我们的融资工具可以帮助女性企业家找到合适的融资渠道。 要有效率地完成任务,需要专注于最重要的事情,并学会寻求帮助。避免“想象中的授权”,要明确地寻求帮助。黑人女性企业家将继续以其正直和对社区的承诺推动经济发展。

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.
