IN BLACK & BROWN
WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS
We believe
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionally impacted Black and Brown business owners and entrepreneurs. Many were forced to close their doors, and some may never reopen. We want to make sure Black and Brown-owned businesses start, grow, and thrive. To do that, they need financial resources and support.
The
Problem
Like wealth, poverty is passed down from one generation to the next, driven by racial inequity, underinvestment, and structural barriers in our communities.
With an emphasis on professional development and innovative use of technology, Girls For Technology is breaking the cycle for generations to come.
