Black Enterprise
Despite the statistics, black women in the venture capital investing community are starting to be a more frequent occurrence. Additionally, they are working tenaciously to ensure that black and Latino founders get funding, but not for reasons that you may suspect.
Fortune
At a time when the national conversation has reached new levels of divisiveness, corporate America's commitment to diverse and inclusive workforces has never mattered more, said Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code.
AppleInsider

Generocity

Allure

But VH1 is giving us hope-and bringing our smize back-when they just dropped an extended trailer for the rebooted ANTM, with new host Rita Ora, and well, it looks good-like really, really good. good. Like start practicing your catwalk good.
