Meet Shambrica Washington and a few of her fashion designer leadership ideas

The rise of a strong creative director expert : Shambrica Washington: A study commissioned by Groupon and the National Black Chamber of Commerce found that 59 percent of Black business owners reported being victims of racism or bias when starting their business. The disparity continued during the COVID-19 pandemic. The New York Times reported that Black business owners had a harder time finding lenders who would work with them for the Paycheck Protection Program than white business owners. And then there’s the racial wealth gap. A 2021 Duke research paper found the typical Black household holds about 12 cents for every dollar of wealth that the typical white family holds. For these reasons, you may be motivated to take action and support Black-owed businesses. Not only will you be a force for economic good, but it can be a way to celebrate and continue Black culture. Bolstering sales can help prove to lenders that the company has intrinsic worth. And by becoming a regular shopper, you increase the company’s visibility and representation.

With the busiest shopping season underway, this is a great time to celebrate and support Black-owned businesses in the U.S. As business owners, people of color can establish financial independence for themselves and their families and provide employment opportunities for others in their community. Moreover, small-business owners contribute to the health of the local economy by paying taxes that go into city and state coffers. When they occupy retail space, neighborhoods become more dynamic.
