Over the years, we’ve seen countless female entrepreneurs make their mark on the world with innovative ideas, hard work, and dedication. Black History Month gives us a chance to recognize those who have made history in the corporate world and shaken up the status quo. It also offers women the opportunity to pursue new business opportunities and inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs. This year we look at how Goldman Sachs is investing in black women and building a more inclusive economy. Here’s one of the best opportunities open to Black women.

Black Womenomics: Investing in the Underinvested is the title of Goldman Sachs' 2021 extensive research, the findings of which showed that one of the fastest ways to accelerate change and effectively begin to address the racial wealth gap is to listen to and invest in Black women. The Black Womenomics research focused on the wealth gap, its relationship with economic disadvantages, and the public and private investment opportunities to help close these gaps.
