The growth of black-owned businesses, particularly those owned by black women, has been notable in recent years. Between 2017 and 2020, the number of employer businesses owned by black women rose to 52,374, making up 37.2% of all black-owned businesses. This represented an increase of 1.76 percentage points from previous years. Despite this growth, black women's businesses still face significant disparities, particularly in revenue and payroll, indicating that there's much progress to be made. Black-women-owned businesses accounted for only 0.9% of all businesses and 4.2% of women-owned businesses in 2020, with their businesses overrepresented in the lowest-earning categories and underrepresented in higher revenue brackets.

Rhythm and Resistance: The Legacy of Black Women in Dance
Rhythm and Resistance: The Legacy of Black Women in Dance
Trailblazers, visionaries, and game-changers, black women in dance have been carving paths of innovation and resilience, breaking barriers, and redefining the narrative of what it means to be a dancer. Their stories are not just tales of triumph over adversity; they are a testament to the power of passion, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. From the pioneering efforts of Katherine Dunham, who melded anthropology and dance to bring African dance techniques to the forefront of American performance, to Misty Copeland's groundbreaking achievement as the first African American principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre, these women have not only made history but have also laid down the foundation for future generations. As they continue to inspire, challenge, and transform the dance world, their legacies echo the endless possibilities that come with grace, strength, and a refusal to be anything but extraordinary.
