Black women's labor is systemically undervalued, so when we think about starting a business, we make two critical mistakes: We have a hard time identifying which of our skill sets are profitable business ideas and the value of our experience in the market!

In this podcast episode, I'm sharing:

• Why our skill set is more valuable as soon as we launch a business.
• How to identify the value of your professional experience
• How you can find your best business idea on your resume
• Why Black women can increase their power in the workplace by building a business
• Business Ideas based on common fields that Black women work in.

It's time for more Black women to create their own path to financial, personal, and professional liberation by building a business that we love. To start your journey, check out the resources below.

As a Black woman with a dream, I got tired of hearing "manifestation" this, "delulu" that. I was trying my hardest to build a life that centered my bliss.

I didn't want to work a 9-5. I wanted to travel the world, and I wanted a business that created a path to financial freedom... but things weren't going well.

I started learning about three manifestation strategies: visualization, embodiment, and shadow work and everything started shifting.

Join me for this episode of the Black Women Podcast, where I share more about the challenges Black women face with manifestation, the common misconceptions, and how you can find the manifestation style that works for you.
