This is unapologetically a black women appreciation episode. The world is on fire, but black women entrepreneurs are killing it in their respective fields and giving me inspiration at the same time.

I wanted to share a few of the lessons I've learned from six amazing black women entrepreneurs: Tabitha Brown, Rachel Rodgers, Danielle Leslie, Dawn Dickson, Teri Ijeoma, and King Ashley Ann. I know you'll find some inspiration from their stories too!
