According to Pew Research Center, “The share of female CEOs of Fortune 500 companies reached an all-time high of 7.4% in 2020, with 37 women heading major firms. No Black or Hispanic women head Fortune 500 companies, while three Asian American women serve as CEOs.”
Shout out to Nicole Lynn who has just become the first Black woman agent to represent an NFL quarterback (Jalen Hurst) in the Super Bowl.

As a Black woman, single mother, first-generation college student (undergraduate and graduate), and first-generation manager and entrepreneur, I have figured lots of things out by trial and error.

The Golden Gap Gender Report of 2020 states that “In 2020, women who earned a master’s degree had an average salary of $72,568 in the United States, while men who achieved the same level of education earned an average of $117,617.”
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “It’s lonely at the top”. Many of us have encountered experiences – our own or someone else’s – that confirm that stance. I am here today to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way.
