Support The Mission: Buy From a Black Woman

On average, annual sales at businesses owned by Black Women are two times smaller than the next-lowest demographic group, Hispanic women, and close to five times smaller than for all women-owned businesses, according to the Federal Reserve. 

Many black women have difficulty accessing credit and face capital constraint. According to the American Express 2018 State of Women-Owned Businesses report, “Growth in both employment and revenues begins to take off for women-owned businesses when they reach $250,000 in revenue.”  The average annual sales for businesses owned by black women was $27,752 in 2012 (the most recent figures available), compared to $143,731 for all women and $170,587 for white women.
