This combined spending power exceeds several nations’ gross domestic product (GDP). Given this scale, leaders within the black community, both historically and today, have heralded blacks’ collective buying power as a powerful tool to advance the race. Former President Donald Trump’s notorious phrase during his presidential election, \"Make America great again\"(MAGA) got turned into a whole different meaning.  Shop my “Make Black Businesses Great Again”(MBBGA) shirts , a phrase when it comes to the survival of our thriving dollar.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWe are powerful !!!!!!!! \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAccording to an Article published in Harvard Business School from May of 2021,\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the United States, an astounding 17% of Black women are in the process of starting or running new businesses. That’s compared to just 10% of white women, and 15% of white men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYet despite this early lead, only 3% of Black women are running mature businesses. To understand why this steep drop off occurs, and how to combat it, we analyzed data from interviews with more than 12,000 people, nearly 1,700 of whom identified as entrepreneurs and nearly 1,200 of whom own established businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe research was part of our work with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gemconsortium.org\/\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.gemconsortium.org\/\" target=\"_top\"\u003eGlobal Entrepreneurship Monitor\u003c\/a\u003e, an annual comprehensive survey of entrepreneurship rates and attributes, conducted in more than 120 economies since 1999. The large-scale survey is administered by academic research teams in each economy; we represent the U.S. team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur analysis offers several possible reasons Black women entrepreneurs struggle to sustain their businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne explanation may be the types of businesses started: Our analysis shows that 61% of Black women entrepreneurs start businesses in either retail\/wholesale or the health, education, government or social services sectors, compared to the 47% of white women and 32% of white men entrepreneurs. To the extent that these are small, informal businesses with low margins in crowded competitive contexts, they are more difficult to sustain over the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother possible explanation is access to capital, which could, in turn, influence what types of businesses Black women open. In previous research we found that \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gemconsortium.org\/report\/gem-usa-2015-report\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.gemconsortium.org\/report\/gem-usa-2015-report\" target=\"_top\"\u003e61% of Black women self-fund\u003c\/a\u003e their total start-up capital.
