Black Women Are The Fastest Growing Group Of Entrepreneurs

The industriousness of women can never be overemphasized despite cultural and societal restrictions.

Recent studies show 80% of food produced in Nigeria is by women.

The National Women’s Business Council reports that there are currently 1,531,494 black women-owned businesses in the United States, a number which amounts to a 66.9 percent increase since 2007. What's more, the 2016 State of Women-Owned Businesses Report found that whilst women now own 38 percent of all businesses in the United States, 44 percent of those women-owned firms are owned by minority women. Those owned by black women in particular employ around 376,500 workers and generate $51.4 billion in revenue.

Is there something in the black female gene that is entrepreneurial?
