When thinking about today’s generation of young Black women, one word that is certain to come to mind is fearless. Fearless in pursuit of their goals, fearless in the face of uncertainty and fearless in the fight for their future.
This fearless spirit is one that has driven so many of our young queens today to begin not just dreaming bigger, but getting started earlier to make those dreams a sustainable reality as entrepreneurs. On Saturday, September 19 at 1PM EST, essence.com will be streaming the first ever ESSENCE + McDonald’s Black & Positively Golden Making Moves Bootcamp, designed to equip the next generation of fearless leaders with the tools needed to take their business ideas to the next level.
