About Her Business

Interviewing phenomenal women about the state of Black female owned business was one of the most empowering projects that I have worked on for BET Her.

Executive and philanthropist, Natalie Cofield; Original Incorporator of the Black Chamber of Commerce, Aimee Griffin; President and CEO of the Capital Region Minority Supplier Development Council, Sharon Pinder; Deputy Business Director of the Small Business Administration, Shuraie Mackin; and CEO of Black Upstart, Kezia M. Williams shared information about the notable increase of Black female entrepreneurs, ways to finance your business and the secrets to building and maintaining a solid business.

The docuseries included entrepreneurs:

• Junny Hibbert, designer of the Junny Hibbert line

• Reese Scott, founder of Women’s World of Boxing

• Yolanda White, Founder and CEO of Dayo Women clothing line

Black Upstart CEO, Kezia M. Williams, and I share a few laughs on set in Washington, DC just before our interview.
