In both New York and the DMV, where the Hispanic population continues to expand, so too does Hispanic women’s entrepreneurship.
That’s why during #HispanicHeritageMonth and every month, we support #Hispanic women-owned businesses through programming and outreach ✨ #LatinaOwned

Thrilled to spend time with @iamwesmoore as he speaks today at @PressClubDC #headliners luncheon. As a MD business owner, I’m a fan of his work to make the path easier for small biz owners. #WomenInBusiness @WBECDMV @WBECEast @CRMSDC

👉🏾Women of color are starting businesses at 4.5X the rate of the overall population
👉🏾Black women are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the U.S.
And yet, less than one percent of all venture capital goes to women of color.
That's why we're here. #WomenOwned
