Breaking Barriers: The Realities of Black Women Entrepreneurs Inspired by Kynesia Rodgers

In this episode, LeAnne Dolce sits down with visionary leader Kynesia Rodgers to uncover the hard truths behind the entrepreneurial journeys of Black women in North America. Despite being the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs, Black women face systemic barriers to funding, mentorship, and networks, often self-funding their businesses with personal savings. Through data from the FoundHers Report and real-world examples, we explore the intersectional challenges Black women founders face, the impact of organizations like the Black Women Collective, and the urgent need for systemic change. Join us as we challenge the myths of equal opportunity, highlight the resilience and innovation of Black women entrepreneurs, and call for collective action to create a truly inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem.
