When you’re a Black entrepreneur building from the ground up, the pressure to have it all figured out can be overwhelming. You’re told to have a perfect brand, a full team, and six months of savings before you even get started. But for many of us, that kind of access just isn’t our reality. And still, we’re expected to make it work. This episode is your reminder that you don’t need to wait for the stars to align. You can start and grow your business with what you already have. In this

2025/05/22

Let’s be honest. When you hear “LinkedIn,” your first thought might be that it’s just for job seekers, corporate professionals, or people in industries that don’t reflect your own. Maybe you’ve avoided it because it feels stiff, too polished, or like a space where you have to shrink who you are just to fit in. But here’s what most folks miss: LinkedIn is one of the most powerful tools for building relationships, increasing visibility, and growing your business. If you’re not using it with intention,

If you're building your business from the ground up and finding it hard to grow beyond a certain point, you’re not alone. Maybe you're stuck juggling everything, feeling like the business can’t run without you, or just hitting a wall around that six or seven-figure mark. This episode is for you if you’ve been wondering what it really takes to get to that next level and why, despite your efforts, things still feel like they depend solely on you.

If you’re building something powerful with your business, you’ve probably thought about who it’s all for. But have you really planned for what happens to that business when you’re no longer in the driver’s seat? Whether you’re just getting started or years in, thinking about the future can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves tough conversations about money, death, or legacy.

As a Black entrepreneur building something from the ground up, you’ve probably felt like traditional media isn’t built for you.

Black to Business ·

2025/04/17

At first glance, authors and entrepreneurs might seem like they live in separate worlds. But they are more connected than you might think. Traditionally, books have been treated as stand-alone works, limiting their potential impact. Out of the 11,000 books published every day, only about 1,000 make over $1,000 a year. But what if your book could do more than sit on a shelf? What if it could spark a movement, create consistent income, and build the foundation of a thriving business? In this

When it comes to growing a brand online, we’re often told to follow trends, look polished, and stick to what's “proven.” But the truth is, real growth and real connection often starts with creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to be yourself. For Black entrepreneurs, there’s a lot of pressure to get it right from the beginning. But what if your breakthrough came not from being perfect, but from being free? In this episode, we’re breaking down how rediscovering your creativity and honoring your

When we talk about business success, the focus is often on what things look like from the outside: numbers, visibility, and public wins. But what about what it feels like to actually run your business behind the scenes? In this solo episode, we’re closing out Women’s History Month with a powerful reflection on internal success. Because building a business that looks good but feels heavy, misaligned, or overwhelming is not the goal. You deserve a business that supports you fully. One that nurtures

In today’s fast-paced digital world, accessibility and customization are no longer optional. They’re essential. As a Black entrepreneur, you know that creating a business that serves diverse audiences means acknowledging that not everyone learns or engages with content the same way.

Balancing a growing business with the pressures of motherhood is something many entrepreneurs know all too well. You’re juggling endless responsibilities, working to stay on top of your business goals, and striving to be fully present for your family, all while feeling like there’s barely enough time or energy for yourself.

2025/02/20

Too many entrepreneurs stay focused on what’s in front of them—getting clients, making sales, and keeping their business afloat. While handling the day-to-day is important, real growth happens when you start thinking long-term, even before you feel ready. Bigger opportunities, whether it’s brand partnerships, speaking engagements, sponsorships, or high-level clients, don’t just show up out of nowhere. They come to businesses that have positioned themselves to receive them. And that’s exactly what

Setbacks are a part of the journey for every entrepreneur, but they don’t have to be the thing to stop you. They can be the setup for something greater. We understand that overcoming challenges like financial issues, business struggles, or self-doubt can make you question if you’re on the right path. But success isn’t just about having the perfect idea. It’s about being resilient, having the right mindset, and being ready to adjust when things don’t go as planned.

As a Black entrepreneur, you wear many hats. You’re the CEO, the marketer, the customer service rep, the accountant, and everything in between. But at some point, doing everything yourself will slow your business down, limit your growth, and lead to burnout. The truth is, many entrepreneurs wait too long to hire help, and by the time they do, they’re drowning in work with no clear process to onboard someone effectively. That’s why preparing for hiring before you actually need help is critical. We
