In Savannah, there are many organizations to lend a helping hand where needed when it comes to starting and sustaining a business. The city is decorated with people who have a vast knowledge of resources and information to help someone who is in need with business help. There are few resources that are headed by a diverse face with experience in differing arenas.

However, there is no one corporation in Savannah that does it all under one housing authority.

 With the 2020 Census stating that Savannah’s population is made up of over 55% Black people, less than 25% of the businesses in Savannah are Black-owned.

 Systemic. Racism.

 Through wealth, employment, education, criminal justice, housing, surveillance, and healthcare - just to name a few areas - systemic racism is plaguing the United States continuously. It’s more than just the KKK burning crosses, but it’s the microaggressions as well that people may not even think twice about.

Since the involuntary migration of Blacks to the Americas - there has been a gap in areas of employment, education discrimination, as well as voter disenfranchisement, mass incarceration, and the judicial system. Whether taking a long look or glance over American history, it’s a clear yet tough pill to swallow when it comes to the disadvantages of Blacks in this nation. Intersectionality takes direct authority on recognizing the layers of oppression, furthermore, exhibits in what manners Black women have amalgamated disadvantages when striving towards success.

• There needs to be more than just taking pictures with Black women business owners because it “checks a box”

• Black startup entrepreneurs still received only a tiny fraction — 1.2 percent — of the record $147 billion in venture capital invested in U.S. startups through the first half of this year, Crunchbase numbers show

• Just 4% of startups were founded by Black women in 2021

“The It. The Powerhouse.” is what we live by, and we welcome all Black women to know that they have what it takes, and they are the very powerhouse they need to succeed.

 Every Black woman has the right to do more than just exist. Black women are more than the last name that is given to them at birth, that most of the time alters when one walks down the aisle, or the underdog that saves the day behind the others that take credit, and most definitely more than the ghostwriter who gets no credit to other’s lives. Black women carry life and birth Nations, are descendants of royalty, hold shining rays in their melanin, and truly conquer any situation set before them.

That’s what we mean by being “The It. The Powerhouse.”

Never turning anyone away from becoming a part of the BWMC family, BWMC is dedicated to prioritizing Black women entrepreneurs having a space to collectively gather in hope, education, and power.
