A Day Late & A Dollar Short
Systemic issues affecting black-owned businesses
Here’s to turning obstacles into opportunities, one late newsletter at a time!
melanin muses,
I’ll be honest with you—this week’s newsletter is arriving a little late, but if there’s anything entrepreneurship has taught me, it’s that the path to success is never a straight line. Sometimes you’re a day late and a dollar short, but that’s all part of the journey. This issue isn’t just about me being behind schedule, though—it’s also about the very real funding challenges Black women entrepreneurs face every day.
While we celebrate our creativity, innovation, and resilience, it’s important to talk about the systemic barriers that often make our path harder. Whether it’s struggling to secure venture capital or navigating the highs and lows of running a business, we’re in this together. And even when we’re a little late, we’re still showing up and pushing through.
This week, we’re diving into the disparities Black women face in funding, why entrepreneurship is often our path to freedom, and how the power of community can help us move forward, even when the world seems to be stacked against us.
You have to approach an application as if your life depends on it. Finishing and having Faith will help you win.
