Seeing our white colleagues get promoted and quickly climb the corporate ladder slowly but surely kills our motivation and ambition to continue striving for success in our corporate careers. It’s so overwhelming to constantly put your best foot forward just to see your coworkers get the rewards, right? So, how can we as women of color smash the concrete ceiling (because we all know how often the glass ceiling gets shattered by white people) and build our OWN house? Entrepreneurship! Entrepreneurship enables women of color to feel empowered, confident and inspired to create their own success.
In this episode, Jennifer Gomez joins us to talk about breaking down the barriers to entrepreneurship for women of color and the impact of economic empowerment on small, local businesses and underrepresented communities. Jennifer is the Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of oneKIN, a tech company that’s helping small businesses, entrepreneurs, and creatives better reach, connect with and sell to their customers. Jennifer is on a mission to create an equitable future through tech and economic empowerment.
“I always felt that economic empowerment had a very impactful and long-lasting effect in its communities,” Jennifer says, “because the moment you provide resources and incentives and benefits to local, small businesses, which are the heart of every community and the heart of our economy, you see the entire neighborhood shift.”
So, are you ready to stop playing small?
Stand up, grab your “hammer”, and let’s get to smashing!
