Celebrating International Women's Day

This International Women's Day, we honour and celebrate the remarkable achievements of Black women across the globe. Their resilience, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit inspire us every day.

Celebrating The Impact Of Black Women In Business

Black women have long been pioneers in shaping communities and driving economic progress. Despite systemic barriers, their contributions to the world of entrepreneurship and innovation are unmatched:

• Black women own 14% of all women-owned businesses in the U.S., and in the U.K. they own 4% of all Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
• Only 1% of U.S. venture capital funding reaches Black women founders, a gap CashBlack and Afrofiliate aim to help close.

Thriving In The Health And Beauty Sector

The health and beauty sector has long been a cornerstone of Black women's entrepreneurial ventures:

• Black women spend 25% more on health and beauty products compared to other demographics, contributing an impressive $10 billion annually to this industry worldwide.
• It's no surprise that 22% of Black women-owned businesses operate in this sector, creating jobs and fostering innovation.
