It’s been a year since economic reports started to reveal that as many as 600,000 Black women – many of them highly educated professionals – are out of work. So what now?
Join a virtual planning session produced by Word In Black featuring entrepreneurs, community organizers, and economic strategists who will share resources and map solutions for helping Black women, the heart of the labor force, regain upward mobility.
During this interactive session, we’ll also ask the audience to share ideas and economic programs from their communities. We’ll compile everything from the session into a resource document that will live on WordInBlack.com.
This event is a follow up to Word In Black’s March video report on The Reality of Being One of 600,000 Black Women Out of Work.
